-Papywizard is entirely written in python. It uses '''PyGTK''' (Python bindings for GTK) toolkit for the GUI, and a few additional modules, mainly for hardware control, '''pybluez''' and '''pyserial'''. Optionnaly, '''vpython''' (OpenGL-based module) can also be used to simulate the position of the head (note that this will be soon a separate application).

 Papywizard uses a MVC-like pattern, which keeps the model separated from the views. This allows to use any other toolkit if needed; I recently switched from Tkinter to PyGTK, to run Papywizard on Nokia plateform. I hope, one day, to be able to run Papywizard on QTopia-based devices, like Openmoko. But I first need to get such device ;o)
 
-Low-levels routines which control the hardware are also in their own package; I plan to made them even more modular, to be used in an external project to control the head. For know, only Merlin/Orion head is supported, but it is very easy to implement other heads.

-A word about the simulation (to come).
+A plugin architecture allows to control different hardwares.
