it should be; however, there is no scripted Service plugin support like there is for DataEngine, Applet and Runner. i'll be adding a ScriptEngine class for those in 4.3. but you should be able to provide a Service from a DataEngine in Python, though again that may not be exactly what you wanted; a Service without a DataEngine may be more what you're looking for. > > sources. depending on what you're doing that might not be the Right > > approach, though. > > It would not work, as you hin, because the user can select one from > potentially 10,000-30,000 names. well, sources are created on demand, though. there are a few million twitter users; we don't load everyone's account in the TwitterEngine ;) when a DataEngine gets a request for a source that does not exist yet, it is given a chance to create that source on deman in sourceRequestEvent. so in such a situation, your DataEngine would only need to create the sources requested. -- Aaron J.
