Python Styx module and servers

This repository contains a collection of Python modules and scripts that can be used to implement basic Styx/9P2000 file servers. I found it useful to create these in order to learn about the protocol, and have made them available so that others can experiment with them.

The styx.py file is a module that contains classes describing messages used in the protocol and functions that can encode and decode messages.

The styxserver.py file is a module that provides a server class that operates on a data store object that is supplied to it when it is instantiated.

The localfileserver.py script implements an example data store that serves the contents of a local directory. The dictserver.py script shows how to provide a data store that serves the contents of a Python dictionary.

The client.py module provides a class that lets Python programs perform a few high level operations on files and directories.
