Re: Rig list from Python

Hi, Hamish,

Glad to see there are at least two of us interested in Python apps.  I
am just getting started with Python hamlib too.  I haven't figured out
the 'foreach' function, but I don't think it's necessary.  You may say
it's a hack, but I think it's a neat use of Python.  Here's my little
program:

import Hamlib
def isRIG_MODEL(s):
    return s.startswith("RIG_MODEL")
rig_models = filter(isRIG_MODEL, dir(Hamlib))
rig_codes = map(lambda x: Hamlib.__dict__[x], rig_models)
for i in range(len(rig_models)):
    print rig_models[i], rig_codes[i]

This gets you a complete list of the magic rig codes, and you can use
it to check the capabilities -- which are still a mystery to me!
Basically, Hamlib's own symbol dictionary has all the information you
want.
