[bruceR]

PyFileMaker is a set of Python modules that makes it easy to access and modify data stored in a FileMaker Pro database.

I have nothing to do with this project, just posting it because it seems interesting.

Interesting, I am working with a friend, Todd Koyem to finalize something we call EPY or the embeded python plugin for Filemaker. The idea is exactly the reverse of pyFileMaker.

We are building an embeded Python plugin so FM can do anything that Python can do. Dare I say 'one plugin to rule them all'. So far we have tested TK dialogs, holding 'globals' in py memory space, sending and recieving email and even trigering wav files. The PC version is doing well in our internal beta testing and as soon as som details involving the OSX vesion of the plugin will start in testing.

The plan is to use the plugins in ebase (www.ebase.org) and to release the plugin as open source code. we demoed it at the N-TEN national con last summer

And it looks like it will soon be a go.
