Oke.
Than i request python suport for making (complex) overlays with dynamic content.
For example a simple clock to a complex system like a screen with a irc bot and a donation ticker.
And i have make mockup script as a non working demo and feature in complete:

import time
import obs   #load the Open broadcaster software python api

ScriptInfo = {
'Name':"clock demo",
'Version':'0.0.1',
'refresh':1,  #execute the loop funcion once a second
'size':(30,250), #sett the windows size of 30px by 250px
}

class demoClock:
  def __init__(self,screen):
  self.screen = screen
  self.collor = 'ffff00' #set collor to yellow
  self.font = self.screen.loadfont('demo.tff',25)  #load a demo font and set the font size to 25
  
  def loop(self)
  time = time.strftime("%H:%M:%S")  #get system time and confert to HH:MM:SS
  self.screen.print(time,(2,2),self.font,self.collor)  #print text on screen and
  self.screen.flip() #Update the stram
  
obs.AddNewSource(ingameclock,demoClock)

You're of course free to request it, but there are no plans to add it. OBS is free open source software, if someone wants to contribute support for Pyhton-based plugins, they can of course do so.

We plan on adding support for scripting to rewrite eventually, and I don't mind support for multiple scripting languages. I feel like scripting is super important for bigger broadcasts.

If you have experience with C/C++ and think you can add a plugin to support for python scripting to our new version, contact me or come to #obs-dev on quakenet to talk about implementation. I implemented the core with support for scripting in mind so I definitely want scripting if someone's able to implement it, but it's not up on my personal agenda quite yet.
