python.

[Shaun Oliver]

hi,
I'm wondering who would be the best person to speak to about learning
python.
or what would be the best docs to read?
mind you I prefer the first as I like that interaction thing.
I'm thinking of incorperating ogg/vorbis support into supercast as well
as doing a few little changes and I wanna make sure I know what I'm
breaking first.
for those of you that don't know,
supercast is a shoutcast like server where shoutcast or similar clients
can send their mp3 streams.
the advantage supercast has over shoutcast is it is able to reencode the
stream and rebroadcast it at 3 different bitrates similtaniously so zas
to be able to accomodate several connection types.
if anyone either knows python or knows of some good docs, please contact
me.
thanks in advance.

Hey Shawn,

I am currently learning Python because my physics class next semester
will be using a module for it called visual python or VPython; however,
I believe I have the reference manual and docs, for Python, right here
on the computer. I can zip up the folder and send it your way if you
like?

Take care,
Sina

Arrg, python, yuck, hehe sorry, just had to get that in first.

If you want to drop me an email off list I've got 

* learning python
* programming python 2nd edition
* Python and XML
* Python pocket reference

In etext format.

In relation to streamcast, I looked at a little while ago and ditched it in favour of icecast with transcoder.

transcoder is a little program you run on the same server as your icecast server and it takes the stream in high bitrate, say 128, 96, 56, etc and re-encodes it for lower bitrates.

It can also convert an ogg stream to mp3 or and mp3 stream to ogg if you really want it to.

I can't remember the url to transcoder off the top of my head, but I'm sure you'll find it on freshmeat.

Don't get it mixed up with transcode though, which converts different video formats.

Hope this helps.

The full name of the program is streamTranscoder and you can get it from
http://www.oddsock.org/tools/streamTranscoder

Re: python.

[Shaun Oliver]

I already have it.
thing is, why not add support for an app that already is rock solid
ratner than use 2 or 3 different apps to achieve the same task I want to
code into this existing one.
another reason for my wanting to learn python is to add support for the
display of the id3 tag from any mp3 a broadcaster plays from his winamp
or equivelent to the 3 already available stats pages that get generated
when supercast is run.

Hi:

I know that Matt has done some stuff with ID3 in recent months.  I don't
think he's released that code yet, but I've not checked the site recently.
You might want to ask him.

Geoff.
