An alternative to [TiVo's Java-based HME (Home Media Extensions) SDK](http://tivohme.sourceforge.net/), this package helps you to develop HME applications in Python. [LGPL 2.1+](http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-2.1.html), except where noted. (Most of the example apps are ported from TiVo's SDK, and as such are under the [Common Public License](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Public_License).) More of a framework than a library. Python 2.x only, where x \>= 3 (or x \>= 5 in the next release). HME for Python includes some features not available in publicly released versions of the Java SDK, such as (with Series 3 or later TiVos) an easy method of changing resolutions between SD and HD, and support for direct text input.     Application can be found here [http://wmcbrine.com/tivo/](http://wmcbrine.com/tivo/)   Tivo forum discussions here. [http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=382883](http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=382883)   Please could someone build this app? ---
