[Library] Python Admin Port Interface

[Xaroth]

Right, I've been working on this for a while, but seeing most of it should be working, time to show it to the greater public.


LibOTTDAdmin

The interface is fairly straightforward, it's a wrapper around python's socket, providing a neat simple interface to send and receive packets as used in the OpenTTD Admin Port.

Most of the code should guide itself, the AdminConnection consists of some functionality to easily build your own code on top of it, for stuff like website interfaces, irc bots and whatnot.

Make sure to read up on the documentation as provided in the openttd repository.

Questions, ideas, gimme a prod on irc

Patches, suggested changes... prod me on irc.

And after years of idling planetmaker decided to ping me... so I managed to get off of my lazy ass and rebuild it

The code is now on Github: https://github.com/Xaroth/libottdadmin2

I added a new tool to the library, openttd-admin.py ..

In the basics it's a curses-like interface (so text-only) around libottdadmin2, so you can connect to servers and interact with them as if you were on the console of that server.

Chat functions both ways, you will be able to see all chat, and chat globally or directed to a player or team
Rcon is obviously available, and I plan on adding some helper features to the program.

Furthermore, there are commands for showing all clients, all companies, and a run-down of economy, vehicle and station stats for all companies.

openttd-admin.py can technically work from the source dir, however, it's advised to install the library fully. it also requires urwid (which can be installed through pip as well)
