So I want to help the community and write an xbmc plugin. I've got a mac, I've installed python 2.7 and i have xbmc installed. I'm familiar enough with python, and i know regular expressions.
My question is, how do I import the xbmc modules such as xbmc, xbmcgui to actually get started writing. If I start IDLE I can't import them as it's not in the path, and everything I read says it's "magic" and they can only be referenced from within xbmc.
So if thats true, does that mean I just can't write code in IDLE? How does one write code actually, what editor, how do you "run" the code to test it within xbmc? All newbie questions, all things i couldnt seem to get out of searching the forum. I apolgize if this is "too" newbie, I'm just trying to learn.
