I hadn't gotten anywhere, as I was having trouble figuring out how to
even get started. The py9p.Client class expects an fd and credentials,
but its documentation is nonexistent, so I was a bit mystified about
what fd and credentials I was supposed to pass in. I had taken a quick
look at cl.py, and it was creating a AF_INET socket, but P9P acme
doesn't listen on an AF_INET socket.
Based on the replies, I took a look at the go code, a closer look at
pyp9.Client and cl.py and did a little experimenting and discovered I
just needed to create an AF_UNIX socket for /tmp/ns.$USER.$DISPLAY/acme
and a 'trivial' py9p.Credentials object, and I've successfully called
Client.stat and Client.ls, so I should be able to try doing something
"real" now.
Skip and Bence, thanks for the hints. I just needed a little nudge to
get me past my mental block.
