## Post #1 by @thomas.beale

The openEHR Python reference implementation is under active development\.
While Python developers will be able to extract only the openehr package
and use it in any Python application\.  The Open Source Health
Information \(OSHIP\) project includes many additional modules like,
webservers, object database, security, auto\-widget creation and
documentation\.

The source code is available via anonymous SVN at
http://www.openehr.org/svn/ref_impl_python/TRUNK/

Installation instructions are available for Linux and Windows on the
wiki at
http://www.openehr.org/wiki/display/dev/Python+developer%27s+page

Bug reporting, source mirror, project planning and translations are
being handled on Launchpad at https://launchpad.net/oship/

Active translations are in progress in:
Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, Korean and Dutch\.

According to the metrics used by ohloh\.net the project is at 2 person
years with a value of USD 106,940\. http://www.ohloh.net/projects/oship
these metrics do not include the approximately 175 open source
components included with OSHIP\.

If you are interested in working with a dynamic openEHR project then
