Hello,
I also achieved to use python's support for domain sockets
to connect to vimb. The socket module needs to be imported
import socket
Then, a socket object needs to be created
vimbsock = socket.socket(socket.AF_UNIX,socket.SOCK_STREAM)
If the variable vs contains the path to vimb socket,
vimbsock.connect(vs)
establishes the connection to vimb.
commands can be sent to the browser via
vimbsock.send(command)
Note that teh command string needs to be terminated with a newline
in order to be effective, e.g.
vimbsock.send(":open foobar.com<CR>\n")
The output can be retrieved with vimbsock.recv , but I could not put it
to a good use, and it often freezes python indefinitely.
As the examples like formfeeding do not require parsing the socket
output, it does not yet matter: Python can be used as a scripting
language instead of bash for this kind of tasks.
greetings,
Klaus Schilling
