dataSiphon: faq

What language is DataSiphon written in?

DataSiphon is written in Python with the graphical interface support provided by wxPython

Can I add providers to DataSiphon?

Sure; see the Extending developer page. Providers/datasources are really easy to implement. If you come up with a new one and feel comfortable sharing it, send it to me and I’ll consider it for inclusion with the core release.

Can I embed DataSiphon in my own application?

As long as the license is respected, that’s great. While DataSiphon was developed as a graphical application, the transformation logic (libDataSiphon, if you will), is fairly distinct, and could be used fairly easily to construct intelligent import capabilities for your application.
