This is also what <https://launchpad.net/frack> is doing.

I would recommend implementing an entirely alternate serialization code path; specifically, one which adapts the existing AMP Argument objects to some new interface ('.toJSON()'), with a default adapter that uses the existing toString()/fromString(), and then specific adapters for those interfaces which need modification, like ListOf and Boolean. -glyph _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
