Hello, I am trying to open a socket connection to a named file on my computer and can not seem to get it working. Any help or advice would be great.
The details I attempting to control xfmedia, http://spuriousinterrupt.org/projects/xfmedia/ , via it's remote from python and I can not get a connection. connection information from readme file <quote> Xfmedia has a remote control system, which consists of a UNIX socket in /tmp, xfmedia_remote.$UID.$SESSION_ID, where $UID is the uid of the user running xfmedia, and $SESSION_ID is a number (starting from zero) corresponding to the instance of xfmedia. (For example, if you're running one copy of xfmedia, $SESSION_ID will be 0. If you start a second instance, its $SESSION_ID will be 1. And so on.) </quote> when attempting to creat a connection with this command s = socket.fromfd('/tmp/xfmedia_remote.1001.0', socket.AF_UNIX, socket.SOCK_STREAM) i get this error </xfmedia_remote.1001.0', socket.AF_UNIX, socket.SOCK_STREAM) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? which i understand i need to use the file descripter instead but i can not not get the file descripter because when i attempt to open /tmp/xfmedia_remote.1001.o with the open command i get an error f = open('/tmp/xfmedia_remote.1001.0') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? IOError: [Errno 6] No such device or address: '/tmp/xfmedia_remote.1001.0' yet ls shows the file exists, xfmedia is working fine. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
