I would like to learn how to develop and debug python addons for XBMC to collaborate with the project and to satisfy some personal challenge.
I have some programming skills, mainly related to db and Visual Basic, and am enthusiastic about learning something new like Python.
I have gone throught the online manuals and tutorials, but found no answer to a question:
Is it possible to develop and debug plugins using portable Python and Wireshark without having to install XBMC in that computer?
My intention is to use the computer at work and I cannot install anything there due to some security policies.
I am aware that xbmcgui and xbmc are required libraries to import, but do not know where to find them inside de XBMC installation (under Linux).
Could someone be so kind so as to let me know where to find those libraries and where in the Python folder structure to put them?
Best regards.
PS: Sorry if this is a n00b thread but found no information searching the forum and the web.
