Hello group,<br><br>I've been lurking and watching for a while. I need to change hats now and get some coding done. I'm an engineer/ sysadmin/ dev and a public university who's been willingly forced to be a sysadmin after years of C/C++ development.<br><br>I'll be on IRC in the evenings. I'm hoping to converse with some of you well-known folks (and others) so I can pick up speed w/ twisted/ python. I definitely want to do things "by the books" (w/ respect to twisted methodology.)<br><br>I seem to be a mere step or two away from clicking, but I'm thinking in circles at the transition between design and implementation. I need to decide how much to code from scratch, how much to borrow from twisted-related libraries, and how much is available from twisted itself. Please offer suggestion for which classes/ libraries to use (and avoid) and even project skeletons to start with.<br><br>Use Cases:<br>- Emacs fragment manager: sent &
receive blocks of text to a twisted server from emacs. Sort by user, time, name. <br><br>-SSH command - line manager : send command strings to twisted server. Another fuzzy goal would be to have the commands run on other hosts by the twisted server.<br><br>-LDAP - user database authentication.<br><br>After implemeting those features, I expect to re-evaluate my skills and design so as to begin phase 2.<br><br>Feel free to make suggestions or wait for more pointed questions. <br><br>KGunderson<br><BR><BR><p>
