Example Usage

A simple command-line client with a truly horrible interface:

def tuplefy(data):
    data = data.split()
    if len(data) > 1:
        data = ("message", data[0], " ".join(data[1:]))
        return data

Pipeline(ConsoleReader(),
         PureTransformer(tuplefy),
         AIMHarness(),
         ConsoleEchoer()
        ).run()

How it works

AIMHarness ties LoginHandler and ChatManager together. First it initializes a LoginHandler, waits for it to send out a logged-in OSCARClient, then wires up a ChatManager to the OSCARClient. It wires up its "inbox" to ChatManager's "talk", and ChatManager's "heard" to "outbox".

Once everything is up and functioning, the AIMHarness will stay running to act as an intermediary to pass messages between the OSCARClient and the ChatManager, but the AIMHarness will not act upon any of the information other than to pass it.

To send an instant message to another user, send the command ("message", recipient, text of the message) to its "inbox".

AIMHarness will send out the following notifications through its "outbox":

Send ("message", recipient, message) commands to its "inbox" to send instant messages. It will output ("buddy online", {name: buddyname}) and ("message", sender, message) tuples whenever a buddy comes online or a new message arrives for you.
