Dear list,

Lately, I've had a personal itch to scratch, in that I run a couple of 
Python programs as daemons, and sometimes want to inspect or alter them in 
ad-hoc ways, or other times need to do things to them that are less 
ad-hoc in nature, but nevertheless lack a natural user interface.

In order to solve that problem, I wrote a small library to allow the 
daemon to simply listen to some socket and accept arbitrary, but easily 
definable, commands. It also provides a "remote REPL" to allow me to run 
arbitrary Python code interactively in the context of the daemon.

I was actually a bit surprised that I couldn't find any obvious 
existing solution to the problem, so I'm writing this message in order 
to share mine, just in case anyone else would happen to have the same 
problem as I had and doesn't want to reinvent the wheel yet again:

Humbly,

Fredrik Tolf
