jamawg · 06-10-2014, 01:41 AM

I have no experience of Python and not really enough time to learn it in enough depth in order to code a plugin.

Is there an alternative?

Or are there any code stubs, such that I can provide a DLL or a .EXE (for Windows only, sorry) and just change a few strings in the Python hook to have it invoke my code?

Yes, I know that I _should_ take the time to lean a new language, and I know that I _should_ make my plugin cross platform, but, if we accept that I just don't have the time and that such a plugin is better than no plugin at all, what are my options?

Thanks in advance for any help.
