pylyskom is a Python library for communicating with LysKOM servers over LysKOM Protocol A.
The source code can be found at: https://github.com/osks/pylyskom
Packages are published on PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/pylyskom/
LysKOM Protocol A specification can be found here: https://www.lysator.liu.se/lyskom/protocol/
pylyskom was originally based on python-lyskom. The following files originates from python-lyskom: kom.py, komauxitems.py, aux-items.txt and make_komauxitems. Most of the changes since then comes from httpkom's use of kom.py. Httpkom also built some wrappers (komsession) around the kom.py code, to make it easier to use. Pylyskom was created as an attempt to break out komsession and the modifications to kom.py from httpkom.
