Demonstration client
This file is an example client written in Python, it will show you how to interact with a remote PyKotIcon host, and will drive you through an extended demonstration. Save this file, then launch it through the python interpreter. IMPORTANT : THIS EXAMPLE FILE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PYKOTA, DON'T USE IT WITH PYKOTA, USE PYKOTA'S OWN CLIENT NAMED PKNOTIFY INSTEAD !
