opening a tcp/ip socket in a rhythmbox plugin

[csdude]

Hello,

I am trying to write a plugin that can send some track info to another process using tcp/ip.

Does anyone know how to create/open a socket in a plugin? (I am using python for writing the plugin).
I have seen examples that copy track info to the clipboard (or output it to xml. I have thrown together a py script that sets up a socket and does what I want, but not in the plugin.

any ideas? thanks,

Ron

Probably the easiest way is to go to this web-site and see how they did it

Downloads - rhythmote - Project Hosting on Google Code

Just download the zip file(rhythmbox web interface plugin) it contains a python file with socket access..
