Oh, wow...that is so damned cool.
It seems like these few lines give you introspection into any Kamaelia
process:
from Kamaelia.Util.Introspector import Introspector
from Kamaelia.Visualisation.Axon.AxonVisualiserServer import AxonVisualiser
# Start the introspector and connect to a local visualiser
Pipeline(
Introspector(),
TCPClient("127.0.0.1", 1500),
).activate()
And clicking on nodes/connectors reports out to the console.
This is so great. Wow.
