Hi all,

Firstly - warmest appreciation to Connelly who's now busily diagnosing 
and working (and maybe hassling jrandom re the java side) to get the 
pySAM API working again with current I2P.

Secondly - I've created a suite of python I2P utility modules.
Called simply 'pyi2p' (to distinguish from the existing 'i2p' python 
module in CVS), pyi2p is a bag of goodies for Python I2P app development.

http://www.freenet.org.nz/i2p/pyi2p.tar.gz

Sneak preview:
 - I2PTunnel class - easy creation/management of I2P<->TCP tunnels
 - i2psocket - compatible subclass of python socket.socket which
   transparently creates and manages tunnels as needed
 - i2pxmlrpc - server and client classes for XML-RPC which work
   over I2P, including full demo suite
 - i2pbase64 - a base64 codec which works with I2P's base64 alphabet
 - i2phosts - a very dict subclass which inserts and retrieves entries
   to/from hosts.txt

This is a first alpha of these modules. Use with caution. Should be 
working well enough to see what's going on.

Fancy HTML documentation enclosed.

Largely similar aims as Connelly's PySAM modules - ease of migrating 
apps (or targetting new python apps) to I2P. But radically different 
approach.

PySAM modules offer python library-compatible sockets that traffic data 
via SAM.

These modules do conventional TCP, but transparently establish I2P<->TCP 
tunnels as needed.

Effect is essentially the same. I present these modules not as 
'competition' to Connelly's excellent work, but as a complementary 
approach. Each has advantages/disadvantages - more power to consumer 
choice. Some situations will favour PySAM, other situations may favour 
pyi2p.

Enjoy!
