Hi! thanks for reply!

I want to make a mystic module in python to connect with Synchronet's 
InterBBS Message System (sbbsimsg)

This uses some tcp ports to send and receive messages.

First use case: "send messages .."
I can already do this using sockets to send to the remote bbs (easy part).

Second use case "receive messages"
Here I am stuck, I can write a python daemon that receives the messages, 
but I can't find a way to inject them to the mystic user (if it is logged)

But that daemon runs in its context separate from the mystic process. 
Therefore I do not have access to the user's session.

How can I send this kind of message to the user from python?

Can I tell mystic to listen on a port and what it receives to pipe to a 
python script? (SBBS have a "services concept" that do this job) like 
inetd unix service..

Can you give me a simple snippet of how to use that mci code from ptyhon?

thanks!
