It sounds like you might be interested in NodeBox - a python powered
scripted 2D graphic environment - nice integration with quartz drawing
and core image processing and much more - including WordNet and
graphing utilities.
It would be great if such an environment had a framework, API and
could draw to a texture - allowing integration with Quartz Composer.
Currently it doesn't. It would be great to see NodeBox in Quartz
Composer as a python based Javascript-like patch that output images.

Hi list -- I hope this is an appropriate list for this topic:
I'd like to be able to do what I can do in Quartz Composer, but
under the control of a nice high-level scripting language --- I want
to go a bit beyond what's easy to accomplish using QC's graphical
approach but don't want to invest in learning all the intricacies of
Objective C.
I noticed that Quartz has Python bindings, but all the examples use
image and pdf files rather than drawing to the screen. Is it
possible to use the Quartz Python bindings to accomplish Quartz
Composer style on-screen visual effects, and does anyone have any
example code? Or is there another way to access this technology
from a high-level language? Specifically what I want to do is
implement custom Core Image filters in the equivalent of a QC
accumulator.
