[COOT] Coot remote control

[Chris Weichenberger]

Dear all,

I have browsed Coot's online documentation searching for means of remote 
control. My goal would be to send commands to a running Coot instance from a 
Python script and it looks like the socket based approach mentioned in the 
documentation '13.28 remote-control' might do the job. However, function 
documentation is pretty sparse, so I wonder if there is someone who has 
already dealt with it and could provide some code snippets or a more in-depth 
explanation of the functions like 'open-coot-listener-socket', 
'open-coot-listener-socket-with-timeout', 'coot-socket-timeout-func', 
'coot-listener-idle-function-proc', 'eval-socket-string' and related.

Thanks in advance,

Chris
