[OLPC-Games] PyQNet project on Launchpad

[Mike C. Fletcher]

Hi all,

Those of you who were at PyCon in Chicago for the OLPC sprint may 
remember Phil Hassey's impromptu lecture on how to build a networking 
API [1].  I've been hacking together a preliminary implementation of 
something like that API and have just moved the project to Launchpad[2] 
so that other people can play with the code.  It's definitely not 
finished yet, so if you want to work on something low-level and 
network-y, feel free to play.

This is by no means a particularly elegant implementation, it's just a 
straightforward hack that should get the job done (once it's finished, 
of course).  At the moment all it's got is message retry and 
reordering.  Discussions of forward plans and the like are currently 
happening on my blog[3]. We can move those discussions here if they get 
more involved and multi-sided.

Have fun,
Mike
