Hello all. :) I'm trying to learn Twisted, and to replace irritating telnetlib code for a simple telnet client application to do so. The problem is I'm slightly lost as to where to start with the twisted.conch.telnet library, so was wondering if anyone could point me to a simple example. So far, I understand the whole client factory thing-- but where I start getting lost is where we get to the "protocol" point (I know I know-- so early to get confused!). Specifically, in the buildProtocol method of a ReconnectingClientFactory instance.. what should I be returning a subclass of? There's a telnet.Telnet, which /looks/ like it would be handling all of the telnet negotiation nicely, but it has methods like "def enableRemote" that call "self.protocol.enableRemote".. and I'm not sure what should be put there, or how that should have been handled. My best success so far was to have it return a subclass of telnet.StatefulTelnetProtocol. It does the "basis" of what I want: a line-oriented output from the telnet protocol connection. However, it also returns all the negotiation characters, so it seems like it's not actually implementing the telnet negotiation part itself. Then there's telnet.TelnetBootstrapProtocol which looks very interesting but looks like its mostly handling telnet features I'm not interested in (various line modes, screen size negotiation, etc) yet... and a telnet.TelnetProtocol that I'm very confused by.. it's inheriting from ITelnetProtocol which appears to define the basic negotiation methods, but it doesn't appear to -do- anything. (And telnet.Telnet, which does notinherit from that interface, does appear to support -doing- the negotiation) This might all be a lot of babbling, and if so-- sorry! I'm just not sure where to get started on understanding what's going on in this module to make use of it. :) I tried googling around to see if I could find a simple display of gluing the conch modules together to produce a line-oriented telnet client connection that appeared to handle the negotiation ... just to get started-- and I can't find one. Does anyone know of one? (Or, if I give you $0.25, could you throw one together? :)) Thanks in advance. --S
