Interesting. I can see however that it loads some kind of pdsender.py ...
I don't have that file on my machine. However, my version for Ruby does
not require any special modules, as it directly uses the Ruby socket
library. Plus you can use it in irb (a nice command line interface with
history and readline), like:

s = TCPSocket.open "localhost",4444
s.puts "hello world ;"
s.flush
s.puts "0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 ;"
s.flush

and so on. (or use s.sync=true, for automatic s.flush's)

Btw where do I download pdsender.py from ?
