Hi Ken,

Yes, I'm interested in using the Wiimote with Python.
However so far I did not use ('use' means 'just try') the Wiimote with 
anything except Glovepie.

There's three setups I'm interested in (less Python, than a general 
setup issues so far):

- Wiimote with Windows XP: Problem is, that, I have to manually re-pair 
everytime the wiimote switched itself off.

- Wiimote with Virtualbox Ubuntu  Client on XP Host: (driver problems 
with the USB dongle, It's always windows which grabs the dongle and not 
V-Box)

- Wiimote with Nokia web tablet. I have to check if Pyblues exists for it.

A Python binding for the Wiimote should be a lot of fun I guess.


bye N
