Re: [Swocket-development] Hello and Thanks - hope I can help

It's more or less just me right now, if you could even say that much.  I=20=

haven't had the chance to work on swocket in about 9 months, but I plan=20=

on bringing it up to speed in the next few weeks.  It still works fine=20=

of course, but it could use some work in the examples, documentation,=20
etc department..  I'm also rethinking parts of the design, as I've done=20=

some large python projects since then and have learned some more about=20=

the language and organizational features it gives you.  I'd also like to=20=

add support for timed events and some support for threading such that=20
you can do "heavy" operations (large calculations, database operations,=20=

etc) without sacrificing performance for other connected clients.  The=20=

only "major" issue I'm aware of at the moment is that the XML parsing=20
module I'm using seems to be quirky about unicode, perhaps it has=20
something to do with the sockets or the library itself, but I never had=20=

time to fully explore why it didn't like anything in the 7bit ascii=20
realm (unless of course it was URL encoded or something stupid like=20
that).

Unfortunately Flash MX doesn't make anything whole lot easier.  It does=20=

give you more functionality though, you can finally create just about=20
any primitive using actionscript and you can also load images on the=20
fly.. both of which are very useful, especially in the XML Socket=20
arena.   To my chagrin you still can't skew anything on the fly and you=20=

still can't access the transformation matrix primitives.

[Swocket-development] Hello and Thanks - hope I can help

[Cortlandt W. <cwi...@ny...>]

Hello Bob and any others working on swocket,

I just want to say hi and Thank you for your work, hopefully I'll be =
able to contribute as well before too long. I've just recently discoverd =
python, but I'm really enjoying it. I wish I knew about it five years =
ago, I would have started doing cgi things then.

I've done a good amount of Flash work and I'm hoping that with this new =
Mx version, it will be easier to create decent applications with Flash =
clients and Python servers. Swocket looks to be a great enabler of just =
that.

Thanks again.

Here's hoping goodness to reign.
