Getting my feet wet !!!!

Hi guys like the title says I am starting scripting in Blender python. Be gentle with me !!! I have followed some tutorials and did some exercice in a book. What I want to know if it’s scripting can help me in two task : first I want to create a little program with the dope sheet that any of my animation starts at 1 and erase the 0 frame datas. Second I am using an extension from Makehuman call load and retarget for animation and I want to know if it’s possible to “isolate” this function for example I want to create a customize Blender that use a very minimalistic function… So that’s a start !!! If anybody can help me and give me tips I will be very happy !!!

Thanx,

Benoit
