As a test I put a 'pre-built py2exe' version of 'pyLiveView' here: You will need GTK runtime installed and on the %PATH%. You also need to start it with the '-g' option to get GUI activated. |

I rewrote/restructed the example application 'pyLiveView' to better interact with the camera.
Not so important for QX10 which can not be controlled without the API, but the user can start/stop the HX60 recording from the camera's buttons and as a result the script was getting confused and locked up.
I also added the ability to select mode and shoot stills (with a click on the 'start' button). On the HX60 the mode is really controlled by the physical dial on the top - you can only shoot movies (by API) when this is dialed to 'movie'.
As a side point I am considering branching this example into a separate (freestanding/GPL'ed) application, as I don't think that there are any projects to control these cameras on the desktop (despite lots of mobile projects). Wrapping the python script up to a 'pre-built binary' with py2exe is ridiculously easy as I did with another pyGTK project I wrote.
