I enhanced museekchat (comes with Museek SVN) slightly (it was just chatting in Soulseek chatrooms) and have re-named it Mucous.

Getting Mucous:
  • Compatible Version: mucous 0.5.4 works with versions of Museek older than April 25th.
  • Cutting Edge versions only work properly with the latest Subversion Museek: mucous 0.5.8
  • Development Version: mucous-dev 0.5.6b3
Screenshots: About Mucous | Dependencies | Plans | Changelog | Old Versions


What it is:
Mucous is a Curses/Python client for Museek, the Soulseek daemon/client. Like Museeq, it's an interface to Museekd.

Tagline: Mucous: Protecting your soul after excessive Nicotine abuse

Usage:
run mucous

/interface <hostname:port>
/password <interface password>
/save
/connect

You should now be logged in.
type /help

Commands and names can be completed with the Tab key.
For example, typing:
/d<TAB><TAB><TAB>
will cycle thru commands beginning with /d

Dependencies

  • Python, and the Curses bindings for Python (usually included)
  • Put the latest messages.py and driver.py in the same directory as mucous.
  • If you haven't installed museek with the Python mucipher bindings, you'll need to get pymucipher 0.0.1.
    (Mucipher is the encryption library that mucous needs to communicate with museekd.)
    If you are going to compile the binary module for pymucipher, you'll need GCC, Python and SWIG (greater than 1.1.x | try 1.3.x).
  • Cygwin Binary mucipher module: mucipher-cygwin-0.0.1.tar.bz2 (python 2.4)

Plans

  • Make private chats seperated for each user (Done!)
    and the same for browsing, userinfo, and possibly searches
  • Add Full transfer management (Added, mostly)
  • Add Settings mode (Added, but needs more options)
  • Add mouse-clickable buttons, ala giFTcurs, mc (Added)
  • Make a better search input box
  • Make userinfo easier to browse (Added)
  • Add interests (possible?)
