Actually, I think for a basic command line client this is a bad idea
(for a number of reasons):
* It makes tpserver-cpp dependent on python and having the python
libraries installed. This is the biggest problem I see, shipping
a copy of these libraries will also be a pain.
* You would want to extend libtpproto2-py (as it uses the xml
files for the protocol description already). libtpproto2-py is
still a long way from being stable.
I would recommend making a client which is based on a very cut down
version of libtpproto-cpp, or maybe something using one of the code
generators.
For a graphical client it makes more sense to use something like Python
(and probably make it part of tpclient-pywx).
Hope this helps.
