That works for me. I also looked at miscws/noxinfows.py, which seems to
do some of the things I wanted.

I am trying to modify noxinfows.py to return topology. I got a handle
for pytopology with 

      self.pytop        = self.resolve(pytopology)

Later, when the GET request comes, I am calling the function I wrote
below

    def _get_nox_topology(self, request, arg):
        try:
            return simplejson.dumps(self.pytop.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX)
        except Exception, e:
            return self.err(Failure(), request, "_get_topology",
                            "Could not retrieve topology")

Now, I don't know how to access the pytopology functions (XXXXXXXXXXXX
part). For example, the get_outlinks() function takes two arguments, but
in the C++ file, I didn't find any comments on what to pass here.

In the manual, there are just a few notes about the topology module,
grepping through the whole source tree, I didn't find any examples of
using pytopology (may be I am missing something).

Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Pradeep
