Hello Python people, Does anybody have experience using Python and digitizing tablets such as a Wacom Tablet? I would like to know if Python is capable of giving you the high-resolution data from the tablet, or if it truncates it to low-res integers like Java.
I have been developing some sketch recognition systems in Java, using a Wacom Tablet (one of the cheap ones). I do not know if the problem is at the OS level or the JVM level, but the data that I am getting from the tablet (via Java's mouse event dispatch system) is low-resolution. I receive tablet input in terms of integer coordinates, but the tablet is actually giving the OS high resolution data. I do know that somebody has hacked a JNI library to access the raw tablet data, but that is for Windows only, and I need my application to run on any machine. I'm also desperately trying to flee to a better language for quickly throwing together prototypes. Java imposes too much structure, so I was hoping to use something like Ruby or Python. Thanks.
