Just finished up a 0.1 version of a LIRC (Linux Infrared Control) plugin for the Exaile media player. Now you can use your remote with Exaile efficiently. The plugin is in the public repository and is called Lircaile.
I haven’t touched Python much as of yet, but I’m pleased with it: it appears to be a consistent language. Well, here’s my 0.1 effort. I desperately wanted to have some fun with introspection, but I have the feeling the nested exception logic is a bit… unusual.
Update #20110222: Updated the inline code preview below to 0.3.0.
