great!

that would be great. With a draft API presented, we can discuss it!

That's exactly what I had in mind when trying to get started. I just
never got around at implementing it. You could take a look at how the
Armature module was implemented. It has a sub-module Bone. This
mechanism is something similar as to how the Texture module should be
implemented in the API.

If I were you, I would look at some present modules as a reference, and
go from there. The Camera module seems to be the starting point for a
lot of new Python developers ;)

If you need help getting the new module initialized correctly, build
issues, just mail the list.
