[vdr] vdrpylib 0.1 released

[Stefan Götz <nooneelse@despammed.com>]

Hi!

vdrpylib is a Python library giving programmers easy access to various VDR
(http://www.cadsoft.de/people/kls/vdr/) services. It retrieves data like
channel and EPG information from VDR and represents it in an object
hierarchy. It also provides a wrapper for the SVDR protocol. Thus,
controlling VDR and processing its data becomes rather simple.

Part of vdrpylib is expg (eXtended EPG program) which enhances the EPG data
of a VDR instance by retrieving additional information from the WWW.

vdrpylib is available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/vdrpylib/

vdrpylib requires Python >= 2.1 and VDR < 1.1.12

Currently, this project is in its early Alpha stage. By far not all VDR data
and mechanisms are covered by vdrpylib. The functionality of expg is limited
to the channels ARD, ORF1, and ORF2.

Although expg obviously collides with current efforts to extend VDR's EPG
data from the tvtoday database and seems to be quite crippled in comparison,
it is still released in the hope of being useful until a better solution
exists.
