I <3 Python
Date: 22/4/2010
I've been in a somewhat reflective mood since I posted that comment about not being sure I'll still be coding in C++ in 5 years time. And yesterday I had reason to do a little scripting. So I decided to break out the python interpreter to write a wrapper around mp4box to convert a raw AAC file into a MP4. I attached that to the context menu for .aac files on my WinXP box and it just works nicely.

So today I wanted a similar script for compressing/decompressing bzip2. So I wrote one and attached it to the "*" files and folders context menu. Nice. This is much better than those weird little DLL's that are available for the same tasks. And I can see all the behavior under the hood and modify it if need be.

Tomorrow? "Open Command Prompt Here", "Copy My Path"... etc, the skies the limit! I'm officially a python programmer (yeah ok, I know enough to be dangerous lol).

Update: Opps I wrote a working FLV demuxer in Python. So now I can go FLV -> aac/mp4 audio file in one step. How hard would be it to hook that up to a youtube page? *wink*
