Hi Steve, Thank you for the quick reply.

It makes a large difference for first time users of the module and for people that don't want to spend hours on writing a simple script just to take a picture.

No, the second one doesn't work

If you write procedural code, like your second example eventually it will become more spaghetti-like and you split it into classes to maintain it. Much easier to start with classes.

Sorry to lecture you.

Regards,

Steve.

What do you mean with Pythonic? Isn't Pythonic the opposite ... like clear and efficient ?

Or do you mean bureaucratic?

Usually, one can use IPython or Jupyter notebooks to play around with python libraries. That way one can get around reading manuals and documentation, using the tab key to get all available functions and so on.

As far as I can tell, this is not really possible with PyIndi, since you first have to check with the documentation, which tells you to construct an unnecessary class like some bureaucrat at the DMV (I am a scientist, I don't respect bureaucrats) .

But thanks for the lecture.

Cheers,

Stefan
