MUSCLE is a robust, somewhat scalable, cross-platform client-server messaging system for dynamic distributed applications that runs under any POSIX-compliant operating system and Windows. Version 2.50 was released today including additions and fixes. The author of MUSCLE, Jeremy Friesner, wrote a very enjoyable article for OSNews back in the day to better introduce the system: “Using MUSCLE to Implement a Multiplayer Networked Game“.

Greetings,
Does anyone know if it is possible to add scriptiong capabilities to the MUSCLE server ? I mean, being able to extend the functionality of the server using a ‘scripting’ language like Perl, Python or TCL ? Has anyone done that before (I suppose you have to link some interpreter library to the server) ?
It claims full Python bindings.
If I understood it well, the Python bindings allow to write clients to the MUSCLE server. What I have in mind is to extend the server using scripting languages.
