I'm trying to get a better handle on how to write a client using twisted that would react to a GUI. What I am wanting to do is to somehow be able to work with xmlclient (which is based in sux.XMLParser) so I can write to the transport. Here is the connection code: <snip> # Overrides the protocol.XlientFactory with a bit of reconnect code and sets # the protocol to xmlclient factory = CUClientFactory() factory.clients = [] sslFactory = ClientContextFactory() application = service.Application("xmlclient") reactor.connectSSL("__example__.com", 1026, factory, sslFactory) </snip> Is there a way I can access xmlxlient inside application? Is there a different way I should send data to the server? I can send data if I explicitly say so inside xmlclient, but what I am wanting to do is to send it due to outside sources (like a button click or key press). Something like this: <bad code> application.xmlparser.transport.write("testing") I've spent a few hours searching through google and the examples/docs but haven't found out how to do this (or even if it is the right line of thinking). All help is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Steve
