Too many dependencies #6

Closed sauloal closed 11 years ago

sauloal commented 11 years ago

Hello,

I really liked your project. So much that I've created a clone in python and sqlite. https://github.com/sauloal/PiCastPy

There's no dependencies except sqlite and python. No apache, mysql or php.

Please check it out and let me know what do you think.

Regards and many thanks.

I've actually been looking at doing something similar. At the moment I'm experimenting with leapcast/leapcast trying to get it to run on the Pi. From a personal point of view, Python does seem like a better choice, but I'm guessing PHP was chosen originally because of familiarity.

Thanks for your kind words sauloal, good luck!

The reason for PHP is because of the Web Control Panel I am building/coming. Either way I would need Apache(2), so I figured to do the rest in PHP and eventually the SQL will make sense but of course the project will work no matter what SQL you use.
