Does anyone have a python script function reference with its parameters
for mystic, since the wiki is empty and not useful?

I want to try to make some scripts in python, but I can't find any other documentation

You can use this:

It is also available via gopher and also you will find it in FSX file areas ;)

thanks! very useful!

do you know if are possible to write info to active node from scripts or external programs? sort of IPC communication with the mystic process ?

thanks!

Not quite sure if i understood what you want to do... you want to send Node Messages? this is possible, yes. You can also send global node messages (to all connected users at once). To send a node message you can use the NS mci code.

Hi! thanks for reply!

I want to make a mystic module in python to connect with Synchronet's
InterBBS Message System (sbbsimsg)

This uses some tcp ports to send and receive messages.

First use case: "send messages .."
I can already do this using sockets to send to the remote bbs (easy part).

Second use case "receive messages"
Here I am stuck, I can write a python daemon that receives the messages,
but I can't find a way to inject them to the mystic user (if it is logged)

But that daemon runs in its context separate from the mystic process. Therefore I do not have access to the user's session.

How can I send this kind of message to the user from python?

Can I tell mystic to listen on a port and what it receives to pipe to a
python script? (SBBS have a "services concept" that do this job) like
inetd unix service..

Can you give me a simple snippet of how to use that mci code from ptyhon?

thanks!

Make the server/daemon, to store the incoming messages to a file, like a queue. Then you can make another Mystic script, MPS or MPY to read that file and display the info on the user, for example when he logs in, when he enters a menu etc. It's very simple this way, i think.

Also, instead of storing all the incoming data to one file, you can use a directory and each incoming packet, be stored in a separate file. This way, you will avoid any file access problems, while both mystic and the daemon, need to use the same file. Each time, you process a file/packet, the mystic (local) script, can delete it.

No need for that, if you do it like i say above :)

The information is in the whatsnew.txt which should end up in mystic/docs.
It is as things were added and changed, but it is the only real documentation on Python and updates to MPL there is.

... Intelligence tests are biased toward the literate.

I suspect your looking for interactive communications, so no. The reason is security, Gooroo tries to keep Mystic hard to hack and add viruses and such
to and so limits things to outgoing only mostly. If the hackers can't change outgoing information they can't hack it. If they could Mystic would be a problem and email feeds would be taken over to send spam.

... I'd love to help you out. Which way did you come in?
