Hello, I would like to develop a new network protocol, where the server and the clients are Python programs. I think to be effective, I need to use TCP_NODELAY, and manually buffered transfers. I would like to create a general messaging object that has methods like
sendinteger recvinteger sendstring recvstring To be more secure, I think I can use this loads function to transfer more elaborate python stuctures: def loads(s): """Loads an object from a string. @param s: The string to load the object from. @return: The object loaded from the string. This function will not unpickle globals and instances. """ f = cStringIO.StringIO(s) p = cPickle.Unpickler(f) p.find_global = None return p.load() Am I on the right way to develop a new protocol? Are there any common mistakes that programmers do? Is there a howto where I can read more about this? Thanks Les -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
