[visionegg] Questions before committing to VisionEgg

Dear Andrew,

I am seriously contemplating a switch to VisionEgg (from
Matlab/Psychtoolbox), based on the fact that it is free, relatively
platform-independent, open-source, and appears to be very powerful. I
require software for testing human subjects in visual cognition
experiments. However, before switching and investing time in learning
a new language and API, I have a couple of questions that I hope you
will have time to answer. If I go with this package I will be more
than happy to tirelessly promote your software.

1.) What is your (and your collaborators) long-term commitment to this
project? It would be disappointing to find the project completely
abandoned in a couple of years.
2.) Is it easy to extract screenshots/movies from experiments? People
love to see pretty pictures. In psychtoolbox, where you directly
control every frame's composition, it is easy to do a screen grab, and
I wonder if this has a comparable capability.
3.) Do you have any idea how reliable is the timing for keypresses and
mouse input in python?
 
I appreciate any response. Thanks for creating this software and
making it available to the community.
-Tim
