g'day gents... looking for a handful or so of python coders who are interested in helping code an addon for server/league admins. 
in the long run, i would like the system to function somewhat similar to the x-system, where the game dumps data into a mysql db for website (php?) interaction as well as in-game interaction.
unfortunately, i only know enough python to ask where the bathroom is, but here is a code sample a friend and i worked on... using some samples from the python API thread:
as you can tell, it sortof stinks... :ices_rofl a lot of features haven't been implemented, and the ones that are there, seem to be broken or are still incomplete. haven't hammered-out a full feature list either, but i would like to have as many features as possible.
if anyone feels daring enough to give this a go, let me know.
cheers
