PyMT day 1

I checkout out PyMT today, based on its tagline:

PyMT is a python module for developing multi-touch enabled media rich applications. Currently the aim is to allow for quick and easy interaction design and rapid prototype development.

It was straightforward to set up on OS X 10.5. I already had mercurial installed, so I pulled the latest HEAD. Many of the examples worked, although the 0.2 release was (of course) more stable - I had no problems at all with the release.

I can’t get it to display interactions from TUIO messages I send with reacTIVision’s TUIO_Simulator.jar. I can confirm that TUIO messages are being sent on the proper port with:

nc -v -l -n -u 127.0.0.1 3333

but this eludes me until next time.
