then from that point on the plugin just talks to a socket and doesn't have to worry...
So, this would essentially work like using nc (netcat), socat or something similar, to connect a
known IP Socket to a
variable actual data source. Right?
Kind of... Really it's the same as using ser2net but I think that's a Linux-specific tool. I have used ser2net in the past for exactly this application, but the python one looks equivalent. It could just as well be done in the indigo process too.
