What program should I use to create/edit scripts?

You can use any text editor, but to make it easier on yourself we recommend you use one with Python syntax highlighting such as Notepad++, or a number of other alternatives.

What functions are available to scripting?

All public c functions are available via the scripting interface with the exception of those that require callbacks. (?)

What language is Scripting done in?

Currently the scripting engine uses python, but there are capabilities in place to expand to other scripting languages later.

Will you support language X in the future?

DSS Scripting is built upon SWIG so it’s possible that any language supported by SWIG may be integrated given enough interest.
