Plan

Currently, I have the plan to develop Piano Video in three sections:

• pvkernel: This is a Python library (probably with C++) that handles all rendering, effects, MIDI parsing, etc. The kernel also contains built-in add-ons, which use the API (below) to add functionality to the kernel. They will be considered part of the kernel.

• pv: This is a Python library which provides an API to the kernel.

• pvgui: This is a Python GUI application (with Tkinter) that most end users will launch. It provides a graphical interface to the API and kernel. Invoked through the command pvid.

End users can develop their own add-ons and install them. pvgui manages user add-on installations.
