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.
