openbox Documents scripts

Hey all,

this is my 1st public script (1st proper script in python) so i applogise for any sloppy code

this basicly genrates a pipmenu that list the contents of your home directory a bit like the places menu in a ubuntu installation
All Sugestions are welcome and i've not yet done the show hidden files section
some of this code comes from obm-dir

#!/usr/bin/python -O
#ver 0.2
## some of this code is stolen from obm-dir 
## Credit where credit is due 
import obxml, sys, os, time
## Check we have the right number of args
### arg 1 Filemanager

###Set Home Dir#
homedir= os.path.expanduser('~')
menulist = []
menu = obxml.ObMenu()
menu.newPipe()
#os.path.expanduser('~') opps

## Stolen :)
if len(sys.argv) == 1:
    menu.createItem(None, "ERROR: Wrong number of arguments:", "Execute", "true")
    menu.createItem(None, "%s command" % (sys.argv[0]), "Execute", "true")
    menu.printXml()
    sys.exit(1)

filelist=(os.listdir(homedir))

for each in filelist:
    #print each[0:1], each
    if each[0:1] =='.' :
        exit #Possibly add the option for showing hidden files
    else:
        menulist.append(each)  #create a new list so we can play around with it

menulist.sort()


#for each in menulist:
#    (mid,lst) = each
#menu.createMenu(None, 'dirlist', 'dirlist') this seems to be for submenus
for each in menulist:
    
    menu.createItem('dirlist', each, "execute",(sys.argv[1]) +" " +homedir +"/" + each)
#    for itm in lst:
#        menu.createItem(mid, itm, "execute", sys.argv[2] + " " + ("\"" + sys.argv[1] + "/" + itm + "\""))
menu.printXml()

simply add this to your menu.xml and add your filemanager to the end so documents.py thunar

Thanks
Matthew
