[sugar] Simple camera API/Pippy fun scripts

Hey,
After using Pippy and loving it, I wanted to make similar, simple
scripts controlling the camera. I wrote a couple simple python
classes to enable this (and the like):
from pixbuf_camera import PixbufCamera
camera = PixbufCamera ()
for i in range(0, 10):
# Take a picture and wait for one second
pixbuf = camera.takePicture ()
pixbuf.save ("test_%s.jpg" % i, 'jpeg')
time.sleep (1)
This isn't really usable within Pippy since it doesn't have text (or
aural) output. Is there place where a simple API of this sort could
go? (Or could Pippy be modified to give scripts more flexible output?)
Are there already platform-level APIs for the camera? Right now it
just takes snapshots from the camera, but it could/should be extended
to do video and other fun things (motion detection).
