A couple of months ago I modified someone's BSD-licensed DHW to SVG converter and turned it into an Inkscape extension. DHW is the proprietary format used by DigiMemo digital notepads (writing on the notepad with a special pen will record all of the penstrokes and save a copy of the writing onto an SD card).
Right now the code is up on github [1]. It's a 215-line perl script, plus the accompanying INX file. I'm wondering if it would make sense to do something else with it, like adding it to an extension repository or maybe even including it with Inkscape. Any suggestions?

Ahem... So we should add Perl to our Windows installer?

It won't be hard to port to Python, which would be ideal for use in Inkscape. It's short and simple.

My fault for not knowing that perl extensions don't work on Windows.
I've never done binary file operations in Python, but if I can find some good documentation (or if someone else can port it) then we can make a Python version. I have an actual DigiMemo notepad and several hundred DHW files to use as test cases.

Nolota: try this and see if it works properly: https://gist.github.com/1471691
(Not having any DigiMemo files I can't test it without faking data myself by following the process in reverse, which would be a waste of time.)
