I don't think it should replace owpython. I like the idea of providing both so that the developers can decide which better meets their needs. Besides, I have a bunch of OW code that wants to use owpython as it is today ;-) > One advantage of this approach is that you can have different owpython > objects, pointing to different owservers. Yeah, I thought that would be a great feature. Once initialized, a developer's python code wouldn't care where the sensor lived in the network. Thought it might make for some rather interesting debugging... > Object initialization should support temperature scale, address/port. > Eventually you could consider "Bonjour" (mdns autodiscovery) -- there may > already be a python module for that (look for _owserver._tcp as the > service).

On a related topic, I was thinking about using URL's to access sensors and fields. Something that would follow a REST (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer) style interface. Like http://host:port/10.B7B64D000800/temperature to read a temperature. Using this style would make for a much simpler mechanism to interact with an owserver. Or at least that's the thought... - Peter ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
