Python in home automation

[kain at cableadmin.com]

I recently took over maintenance of XAL which is the X10 Abstraction
Library, as well as began writing Python modules for it.  The XAL
site went up at sourceforge today (http://xal.sourceforge.net) and
the pyX10 page will go up in a couple days at http://pyx10.sourceforge.net
I would be very interested in working with anyone on python home automation.
