If you dont want XSI to freeze, you can make use of a TimerEvent, wich
can queue incoming external commands ( but dont trigger XSI Commands as
it is not thread safe ), then execute the queued commands on timer event.
This would involve compiled event though.

Aloys Baillet a Ãcrit :
Or...Just play with XMLRPC in Python.Here's a simple setup (you
recognize it Mikee?):
Run this code from inside XSI
class MyFuncs: def log(self, s):
Application.LogMessage(s) return 'Done!'
from SimpleXMLRPCServer import SimpleXMLRPCServerserver =
SimpleXMLRPCServer(("localhost",
8000))server.register_introspection_functions()server.register_instance(MyFuncs())server.serve_forever()
then from a separate python console:
import xmlrpclibserver =
xmlrpclib.ServerProxy("http://localhost:8000";)server.log ("This is a
test!")
That works! The main problem with this setup: XSI will be completely
frozen...And you might have to play around some COM weirdness.But the
concept is quite nice!
Cheers,
Aloys
