Basic motion graphics with Python

Tuesday, June 6th, 2006

Simon Yuill has a tutorial about basic motion graphics with Python:

This tutorial provides an introduction in using the Python programming language to create small programs for different forms of motion graphics, such as algorithmic animations or custom video processing. It focuses mostly around the use of the Python Imaging Library and also provides an introduction to aspects of ffmpeg, a commandline tool for working with video formats.

Can’t say I really read it too closely, but it looks like it is quite detailed.

Django at IBM DeveloperWorks:

Python Web frameworks, Part 1

In this first article of a two-part series, we show off Django, an open-source model-view-controller (MVC)-style Web application framework powered by the Python programming language. With Django, you can create high-quality, easy-to-maintain, database-driven Web applications in minutes.

Articles like this will give Django a lot more exposure. Always a good thing.

Quoth the NodeBox about page:

NodeBox allows you to create visual output with programming code. The application targets an audience of designers, with an easy set of state commands that is both intuitive and creative. It is essentially a learning environment and an automation tool.

Written in Python and has full Python support. Sounds interesting.

It’s also one of the reasons to learn Python according to the Red Sweater Blog.
