[FX.php List] Any body ever use pyfilemaker?

[John Funk]

Hi,
I set up a script to edit records in my FM database, ran if from the
terminal command line and it worked!
Now on the real task of making a few modular scripts that I can pass
variables to. No web server! This is cool stuff!
Thanks for the help!
John
