Yep. Also, you don't have to use the shells, either. You can instead load opencog, as if it were a library, into either scheme or python. There are two ways to access python: start pyton first, then load opencog, or start the cogserver first, then telnet to port 17001.
For scheme, you have the same two choices, plus a third choice: telnet to port 18001. I should probably *remove* this third choice, as a smart scheme programmer can do this on their own, if they wish -- its a build in part of the scheme language, and its only a few lines of code. --linas On Fri, Oct 28, 2016 at 8:18 AM, Ben Goertzel <[email protected]> wrote: > The Scheme shell is strongly preferred at the moment, because it is > less buggy and better maintained, and because the set of Scheme > bindings is more complete > > There's of course a self-reinforcing aspect here: Everyone uses the > Scheme shell because it works better .. and it works better because it > gets better maintained and extended because everyone uses it... > > -- Ben > > > On Fri, Oct 28, 2016 at 8:43 PM, Apil Tamang > <[email protected]> wrote: > > All, > > So from what I know so far, there're at least two ways to interact w/ the > > cogserver for manipulating atomspace.
