A month or so ago I started a music player project. It didn’t take me long to hit a rather major stumbling point. And that was the end of the project. Or at least until two days ago when I made the effort to Make it Work™. Since then everything seems to have just worked for me without much head scratching. That’s PyGTK (including Glade), GStreamer, SQLite, Mutagen, PyNotify, etc. And just to prove it, here’s my first screenshot (dedicated to the music I’ve been listening to whilst programming this weekend!).

But this is where the hard bit starts. Python may be easy, but good programming is hard. I have lots of dreams for how Glisten will eventually work (the picture is just me playing around with the libraries). The difficulty is being able to translate those ideas into a codebase that is organised and useful.
