Remote control of a Brian process, for example using an IPython shell
The process running the simulation calls something like:
server = RemoteControlServer()
and the IPython shell calls:
client = RemoteControlClient()
The shell can now execute and evaluate in the server process via:
spikes = client.evaluate('M.spikes')
i, t = zip(*spikes)
plot(t, i, '.')
client.execute('stop()')

'''
Allows remote control (via IP) of a running Brian script
Initialisation arguments:
``server``
The IP server details, a pair (host, port). If you want to allow control
only on the one machine (for example, by an IPython shell), leave this
as ``None`` (which defaults to host='localhost', port=2719). To allow
remote control, use ('', portnumber).
``authkey``
The authentication key to allow access, change it from 'brian' if you
are allowing access from outside (otherwise you allow others to run
arbitrary code on your machine).
``clock``
The clock specifying how often to poll for incoming commands.
``global_ns``, ``local_ns``, ``level``
Namespaces in which incoming commands will be executed or evaluated,
if you leave them blank it will be the local and global namespace of
the frame from which this function was called (if level=1, or from
a higher level if you specify a different level here).
Once this object has been created, use a :class:`RemoteControlClient` to
issue commands.
**Example usage**
Main simulation code includes a line like this::
server = RemoteControlServer()
In an IPython shell you can do something like this::
client = RemoteControlClient()
spikes = client.evaluate('M.spikes')
i, t = zip(*spikes)
plot(t, i, '.')
client.execute('stop()')

Used to remotely control (via IP) a running Brian script
Initialisation arguments:
``server``
The IP server details, a pair (host, port). If you want to allow control
only on the one machine (for example, by an IPython shell), leave this
as ``None`` (which defaults to host='localhost', port=2719). To allow
remote control, use ('', portnumber).
``authkey``
The authentication key to allow access, change it from 'brian' if you
are allowing access from outside (otherwise you allow others to run
arbitrary code on your machine).
Use a :class:`RemoteControlServer` on the simulation you want to control.
Has the following methods:
.. method:: execute(code)
Executes the specified code in the server process.
If it raises an
exception, the server process will catch it and reraise it in the
client process.
.. method:: evaluate(code)
Evaluate the code in the server process and return the result.
If it raises an
exception, the server process will catch it and reraise it in the
client process.
.. method:: set(name, value)
Sets the variable ``name`` (a string) to the given value (can be an
array, etc.). Note that the variable is set in the local namespace, not
the global one, and so this cannot be used to modify global namespace
variables. To do that, set a local namespace variable and then
call :meth:`~RemoteControlClient.execute` with an instruction to change
the global namespace variable.
.. method:: pause()
Temporarily stop the simulation in the server process, continue
simulation with the :meth:'go' method.
.. method:: go()
Continue a simulation that was paused.
.. method:: stop()
Stop a simulation, equivalent to ``execute('stop()')``.
**Example usage**
Main simulation code includes a line like this::
server = RemoteControlServer()
In an IPython shell you can do something like this::
client = RemoteControlClient()
spikes = client.evaluate('M.spikes')
i, t = zip(*spikes)
plot(t, i, '.')
client.execute('stop()')
