[Live-devel] Starting up

[IR@InterStrat.com]

Thanks Jeff and Ben.
Given that the live555 will be the core library for the video streaming server would it make sense therefore to prototype in Python and transfer to C++ when reasonably clean. Perhaps Boost Python would help with this ? Are there good resources for a Python video streaming server using C++ libraries ?
For the live555 development community could this not add more hands on the job if there is a clear path to use Python as well ?
Here is a pioneer in a very simple application

Would welcome your thoughts !
Thanks
