Re: Can't get current from PDP, crashes.

Also, it should be noted that the python library has two pieces (well.. three), one is a WPILib piece, and the other is a HAL piece. The HAL piece is just an abstraction, with two concrete implementations -- one for simulation, one for the actual roboRIO C++ hal wrapper.

It works pretty well, because we can run the same WPILib code for simulation/testing and on the real robot, unlike how the simulation stuff is implemented for Java. Hopefully they'll use our model next year.
