[tipc-discussion] tipc.py

[Jon M. <jm...@re...>]

I am updating the programmer's manual, and realized that the Python API 
is missing.
Since there are so many programmers knowing Python nowadays, but not C, 
I think it would
be very useful to have this API in the manual, so those programmers can 
get a feeling
for how simple it to use TIPC.

Tuong started development of an API based on the libtipc C-API, but it 
seems to me it was never finished.
However, Python does since a long time have native TIPC support, 
allegedly both in Python 2 and Pyton 3.
I had never seen that API until now, but after some googling I came over 
the following link, that seems to contain
that native implemenation:

https://blitiri.com.ar/p/pytipc/

I wonder if anybody has the time to try this one, and verify, using the 
examples, that it really works.
It would be embarrassing to add this to the manual if it turns out it 
doesn't work.

PS. Does anybody volunteer to be become co-maintainer of the home page 
and project page
       at SourceForge? I think we should even consider moving it to 
GitLab or GitHub.
       Since we have our own domain (tipc.io) that could easily be 
re-steered to a different
       host system.
