In python use sockets... in Pd use [netreceive] - I'm sure there's loads
of good examples out there and I'm working on some pygtk for a project
(but it's still very very early). Menwhile this is a very minimal python
-> Pd example

Someone should add the description of the FUDI protocol to
the man pages for pdsend/pdreceive, since its not a standard
protocol and is slightly different from the messages people
are used to sending from within the gui (i.e., without a terminating
semicolon).
