[9fans] Any examples of using the py9p client code?

[6o205zd02]

Can anyone point me at an example of using the py9p
(http://mirtchovski.com/p9/py9p/ or
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/py9p/1.0.8) client code to talk to a
server.  I've been playing around with a little bit, but haven't had any
luck.

More specifically, I would like to use it to write a client that talks
to P9P acme.  Is that even possible?  If not is there some other python
library that would help?

     thanks,
     Peter Canning

that doesn't help much if you want to use python though :)

How far did you get Peter? Did you get past the auth stage?
Have you looked into examples/cl.py ?
py9p.Client class should do most of the heavylifting for you.

he asked "Is that even possible?", hence my suggestion.

I hadn't gotten anywhere, as I was having trouble figuring out how to
even get started.  The py9p.Client class expects an fd and credentials,
but its documentation is nonexistent, so I was a bit mystified about
what fd and credentials I was supposed to pass in. I had taken a quick
look at cl.py, and it was creating a AF_INET socket, but P9P acme
doesn't listen on an AF_INET socket.

Based on the replies, I took a look at the go code, a closer look at
pyp9.Client and cl.py and did a little experimenting and discovered I
just needed to create an AF_UNIX socket for /tmp/ns.$USER.$DISPLAY/acme
and a 'trivial' py9p.Credentials object, and I've successfully called
Client.stat and Client.ls, so I should be able to try doing something
"real" now.

Skip and Bence, thanks for the hints.  I just needed a little nudge to
get me past my mental block.
