Hi everybody, I'm totally new to Python but well motivated :-) I'm fooling around with Python in order to interface with FlightGear using a telnet connection.
I can do what I had in mind (send some commands and read output from Flightgear using the telnetlib) with a read_until() object to catch every output line I need, but it proved to be very slow (it takes 1/10 of a sec for every read_until(). I tried using the read_eager() object and it's waaaayyyy faster (it does the job in 1/100 of a sec, maybe more, I didn't tested) but it gives me problems, it gets back strange strings, repeated ones, partially broken ones, well ... I don't know what's going on with it. You see, I don't know telnet (the protocol) very good, I'm very new to Python and Python's docs are not very specific about that read_eager(9 stuff. Could someone point me to some more documentation about that? or at least help me in getting a correct idea of what's going on with read_eager()? I'm going on investigating but a help from here would be very appreciated :-) Thanks in advance, Roberto -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
