I finally took a moment to put my buffered socket class, bufsock.py, on a web page.
It's a wrapper class for python sockets. It should reduce tinygrams, as well as provide a more convenient interface to the application programmer. It includes functions for reading a certain number bytes, reading up to the next occurrence of an arbitrary character (newline, null byte, whatever you like), and so on. Conceptually, it is much like stdio for unix file descriptors, but instead for sockets. You can find it at: http://dcs.nac.uci.edu/~strombrg/bufsock.html Enjoy. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
