The Listener class

The Listener class extends the Thread class and provides a socket to wich updates can be supplied. The update is supplied as a python module which first line must be #parsed. This module will be imported to the application so the top-level code of the module will be run.

To supply an update, one has to supply the following command to the socket : update <path to module>. The socket listens to port 4242 on the local machine.

Other commands are also available :

set logpath <path> will set the path for the pymoult.log logfile

set loglevel <n> will set the loglevel. It must be 0 (no log), 1 (only error logs) or 2 (every log)

The listener.py modules also provides a get_app_listener function that returns the previously started listener.
