my method to write scripts :
i write them using console mode under windows and then i port them on XBMC.
So almost no debug on Xbox.
About Python, even if i don't really create new scripts for now, I decided to work on a bigger step : XBMC itself

Very basics things for now but that way I will be able to add functions I need in the xbmc/xbmcgui library. I'm not a very good C++ dev, and XBMC is a very huge project and very hard to understand the sources but for now everything I wanted to add is working
riffraff don't take it like this, it 's always nice to help people and I appreciate you do this.
