support for python module development ?

[sirex]

hello. -- i'm looking at creating a custom module for ebox, however i see ebox relies upon perl for writing the modules. Is there any ability to write these modules in python, or is there any plans for this to be possible in the future ?

The module would be fairly complicated and would need ongoing maintenance / development, so i'd like to avoid a language like perl, aside from the hassle of picking it up for this task.

Sorry, you will have to stick to perl if you want to add a new module.

Hi sirex,

We developed an ebox-soap package for Debian Sarge to receive SOAP requests from a control center (ebox-control-center) using certificates. However, these packages have not ported to Ubuntu and we have not decided how to port them to open SOAP request using PKI to authenticate requests.

Best regards,
