[21:22] <tsimonq2> balloons: you around to talk about Walter's task that he gave to me as well as some general API "difficulties"? :)
[21:23] <balloons> tsimonq2, I'm here. I can try to help. However, you likely know more than me if you've been digging into the API :-)
[21:24] <tsimonq2> balloons: just why is it written in PHP?!?!?!?!?
[21:24] <tsimonq2> :P
[21:24] <tsimonq2> balloons: compatibility or preference?
[21:24] <balloons> the api? it's a python api
[21:25] <tsimonq2> balloons: server-end is PHp
[21:25] <tsimonq2> *PHP
[21:25] <balloons> right -- it's drupal you know, the whole thing is php
[21:26] <tsimonq2> balloons: aww so no changing that? :P
[21:26] <teward> drupal is drupal
[21:26] <teward> :P
[21:26] <tsimonq2> alright :P
[21:31] <tsimonq2> balloons: well I guess I can deal...gonna be stuck looking at source code instead of taking random stabs using the python console
[21:31] <balloons> tsimonq2, you're going to have to learn to love php indeed
[21:31] <tsimonq2> balloons: is every function of the API also put into the Python module or does it just forward requests
[21:31]  * tsimonq2 isn't learning PHP, I am just going to look at conceptual stuff :D
[21:31] <tsimonq2> and with by background knowledge on other programming languages it helps
[21:32] <tsimonq2> balloons: because if it's all just in the Python module, that will be MUCH easier to read
[21:33] <balloons> tsimonq2, you've hit the limit of my knowlegde, hah!
[21:34] <balloons> the api is not complete, nor documented as you know
[21:34] <flocculant> you could ask me
[21:34] <balloons> it's a WIP bit of python; it could certainly be added to
[21:34] <flocculant> but it would be even more pointless
[21:34] <flocculant> badum tssh
[21:34] <balloons> as far as what? how? etc, I really have no answers without digging myself
[21:35]  * tsimonq2 will just look into it himself
[21:35] <tsimonq2> I thought you guys would be able to give me some quick answers but I guess I'll have to explore a bit :)
[21:37] <tsimonq2> balloons: when I get done digging after a few weeks I should train you XD
