Quick client server with Falcon

[btiffin]

I'm always a fan of simple interfaces to sockets.

A server side $ facon -i transcipt

code:

>>> load socket >>> s = TCPServer() : TCPServer(){ lastError = Nil} >>> s.bind("localhost", "12354") >>> p = s.accept() : TCPSocket(){ Socket = Class Socket, lastError = Nil, timedOut = Nil, }

Client side (different shell)

code:

>>> load socket >>> t = TCPSocket() : TCPSocket(){ Socket = Class Socket, lastError = Nil, timedOut = 0, } >>> t.connect("localhost", "12354") : false >>> t.send("12345678") >>> t.close() : 8

Back to server

code:

>>> p.recv() ParamError VM0900 at socket:765(PC:ext): Invalid parameters (X, [N])   Traceback:    socket.TCPSocket.recv:765(PC:ext)    falcon.intcomp.__main__:1(PC:12) >>> ans = p.recv(8) : "12345678" >>> p.close() >>> s.dispose() >>> inspect(s) Object of class TCPServer {    accept => Ext. Function TCPServer.accept    bind => Ext. Function TCPServer.bind    dispose => Ext. Function TCPServer.dispose    lastError => Nil } >>> inspect(p) Object of class TCPSocket {    Socket => Class Socket    close => Ext. Function TCPSocket.close    closeRead => Ext. Function TCPSocket.closeRead    closeWrite => Ext. Function TCPSocket.closeWrite    connect => Ext. Function TCPSocket.connect    dispose => Ext. Function Socket.dispose    getHost => Ext. Function Socket.getHost    getPort => Ext. Function Socket.getPort    getService => Ext. Function Socket.getService    getTimeout => Ext. Function Socket.getTimeout    isConnected => Ext. Function TCPSocket.isConnected    lastError => Nil    readAvailable => Ext. Function Socket.readAvailable    recv => Ext. Function TCPSocket.recv    send => Ext. Function TCPSocket.send    setTimeout => Ext. Function Socket.setTimeout    timedOut => int(0)    writeAvailable => Ext. Function Socket.writeAvailable }

Not a bad interface, IMHO.
