I guess what I'm getting confused about is how to get my listen server (MUD server) talking to this IMC client connection. Let's say one of my player wants to send a message over the IMC (client) connection. This is done by telnetting into the MUD server and entering a command like: imcmessage "hello". So I've got a reactor serving up my MUD server process, and I'm not sure how this IMC client plugs in.
This sounds a lot like this FAQ: http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#HowdoImakeinputononeconnectionresultinoutputonanother
I guess I need to create some kind of queue that the IMC ConnectionMade checks periodically and executes if I can't directly get the MUD server talking to the IMCProtocol object.
Fortunately, you can make them talk directly. :) No need for a queue.
Also, do I need to do anything special to prevent blocking?
As long as you're using Twisted APIs for dealing with the networking, no - those won't block.
Do I use two separate reactors or should the IMC connection be using the same reactor or process group as the MUD server (listen server)?
There's always exactly one reactor in a Twisted app.
Thanks for your help. I'm sure this will be really simple to do once I figure out how to do this.
Hope this helps, Jean-Paul _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
