# gtkLineClient.py # Free. Please share

Hi Lee! What exactly is this client for? At first I figured it was just something to test one's line-based server protocols with, but the "USERNAME_foo" line implies some sort of protocol (I think?).

For? Heh heh. It is really just my attempt to make a gtk application talk over the internet. I had looked at the only other gtk app that came with the 0.19 distribution, but it used twisted.spread which frankly I did not understand. I just wanted something which could send lines in response to gtk events and listen for lines and call back in to the app. I tried to make it a simple basic gtk client. I thought it might be useful to other people trying to get this thing going. I continued on from there and I am mostly finished with Twisted Tic Tac Toe, which lets people play (you guess it) naughts and crosses over the network. On that USERNAME_ thing... yes, I implemented a tic-tac-toe protocol, but how would one go about authenticating securely (assuming one's tic-tac-toe game was deemed important enough to not send passwords in the clear) I guess I should look at the twisted ssl stuff. Thanks for the twisted. It's fun.
