[X2go-dev] Python X2go rewrite from scratch, first drafts available online

[Mike Gabriel]

Hi there,

I would like to make you aware of the API documentation of the  
completely from scratch rewritten Python X2go library, now published  
under GPLv3.
http://packages.das-netzwerkteam.de/doc/python-x2go/

There is a German project page on our website (we are thinking of  
translating the site into English, sorry for now for those who cannot  
read German):
http://das-netzwerkteam.de/site/?q=node/71

The current Python X2go development can be followed at:
https://svn.das-netzwerkteam.de/websvn/listing.php?repname=nwt-projects&path=%2Fpython%2Fpython-x2go%2F#_python_python-x2go_

There are packages for Ubuntu Lucid available in our APT repository:

deb http://packages.das-netzwerkteam.de/ubuntu lucid main

Available packages are:

   python-x2go
     (incl. non-lucid dependencies like python-greenlet, python-gevent)
   pyhoca-cli


python-x2go package notes:
--------------------------
With Python X2go you will also need the x2goclient package from the  
X2go repository installed (because of nxproxy binary). Python X2go  
requires Python v2.6 or greater.

NOTE: at this very moment I realize, that the example files in the  
package have not been adapted to the current API... this will come in  
a couple of days, so stay tuned...

pyhoca-cli package notes:
-------------------------
PyHoca-cli will become an X2go Client implemented in Python. Currently  
there is only graphics support available (no sound, no printing, no  
sshfs, no...). But it works on my Ubuntu lucid systems and maybe also  
on yours. After installation try pyhoca-cli --help or ,,man  
pyhoca-cli'' for further information.

As you might guess... Python X2go is far away from being anything like  
unstable, testing or stable. It is purely experimental and actually  
freshly born. If you have ideas, feedbacks, bugs, patches, please let  
me know...

AND: Do not even think about using Python X2go in productive scenarios  
during the next year or so. Developing stable software takes time!!!  
I'll be happy if any of you wishes to contribute.

light+love,
Mike
