Sister repo

[ianclarksmith]

I found your repo while browsing github the other day and felt I should share my own (also a little dirty, basic) script that's supposed to do the same thing. It ain't much to look at but feel free to use/fork/ignore it. -Ian

Wonderful! Would you be interested in working together to make a clean, reliable version?

Sure! I have some changes to try out first, after I finish up my CAD work for the day (...night). If it comes out at least a little more stable I'll add you as a collaborator and then we can decide what to keep between the two.

Late morning edit: If you get a chance, give my latest commit a whirl and see what you think. Numerous code breaks during an all night drafting session rarely go well but as far as I can tell it's working with the following features:

• RunPythonScript to run as usual, leads to a dialog box
• OK starts the server, cancel aborts the script and lets Rhino go about it's business without crashing
• If you hit OK, Rhino hangs until netcat/client hits it
• Exiting works with sys.exit()– apparently this is an IronPython thing, I don't mind leaving it as is. The important think is that you can exit from the shell, Rhino will print that it's disconnected, and then you can just re-load the script to go again. No more socket or I/O errors!
• sys and rhinoscriptsyntax are automatically imported into the shell on launch

The best part is that since the gui isn't frozen you can use both simultaneously.
