There are two new, easy ways to write objects for Pd: tclpd by

Barknecht and Martin Peach. Both are now included in
Pd-extended 0.43 and are automatically loaded at startup.

I was so excited to try tclpd, that even though pd 0.43 happens
not to work under my user account, I gave it a go under another
account. Let me share my not so merry experience, and sorry if it
goes beyond tclpd itself.
So this a user account that never ran pd-extended, although it
(latest autobuild) is already installed on the machine (Ubuntu
Lucid).
I start a new patch and try to create [tclpd], i get this error:
maximum object loading depth 1000 reached
tclpd
... couldn't create
I quit so I can add tclpd to the preferences file, but I find
there is no .pdextended file.
I go to preferences, it lets me add the path to tclpd, I click
Apply, OK. As we, the well-connected know it now, this has no
practical effect - except that it seems that on quit, a new
default .pdextended is created - with no reference to tclpd
however.
I open .pdextended in a text editor and add tclpd to the only list
there is: 'loadlib'.
I go back to pd, [tclpd] still won't create.
Back to text editor, copy-paste 'path' section of another user's
.pdextended into this one, add tclpd.
Back to pd, [tclpd] still won't create.
This is where I am now.
Please tell me if I'm doing anything wrong and/or if I shall file
any of this as a bug.
There is no [tclpd] object as far as I know. tclpd is a "loader"
library that is loaded automatically at start by the new 'startup'
mechanism in Pd-extended 0.43. To use it, try out one of the
examples in the Help Browser -> tclpd -> examples. Or try
downloading the 'tclfile' library and dropping it into
~/pd-externals. You can see the Tcl script that made the open by
right-clicking and selecting Open.

:o)
I imagined something like [widget]... for no good reason then.
