Basically what you want to do is look at twisted/protocols/basic.py --
specifically Int16StringReceiver (to see how to read in a
length-prefixed string chunks at a time), NetstringReceiver (an example
of having multiple states), and StatefulStringProtocol (this pattern
will be useful for implementing your commands).

Python strings are entirely 8-bit safe, for example len('\x00hi\xff')
== 4 is a true statement.. so that will not cause you problems unless
the transport has problems with it (i.e. a serial port or tty not
explicitly configured to be 8bit clean may cause problems, and TCP/UDP
sockets as a transport will never have this problem).
