Hi,

first of all sorry for my delayed answer.

Yes, this is closer to my need. There is the Python+Twisted library that
takes care of networking communication. Then on top of this people may want
to write their higher level application with their Java protocol which may
or may not have to directly use networking sockets used internally by the
Python/Twisted layer.

          <-- networking -->

Yes, I would like to, but it depends if I get the possibility to allocate
time on it... Unless the Java integration becomes blocking for us, we will
continue just with pure Python and Twisted.

Thanks,
