Python support?

GringoGrande · 07-10-2003, 05:09 PM

I'm curious if there are any plans of adding support for python scripting, alongside of tcl?

Otherwise, that would be my humble suggestion

Python can run as a seperate exe so there is no reason why you couldnt use python. The python dll is 840K or so and it needs various extra stuff. Thus it isnt as handy as tcl. I doubt that it will ever come as plugin. Also you have 2 versions of python, namely http://www.python.org/download/ and the one from activestate.
But nothing can keep you from running python as an exe.

Guess you have a point there.
I'm pretty new to both ioFTPD and tcl, so I have had little success with scripting things my way.

Could you give me any pointers on how I would go about my business to get server feedback from python scripts?

I might consider adding other languages when daemon gets near complete state (until then it's too much work to update internal commands to each scripting language)

THen I vote for active scripting support. It is fairly easy and you quickly get vbscript, jscript, perl, python, tcl (active tcl that is), and even a few others..
