An h-node.com client (h-client) could be used in order to access the h-node.com xml database and automatically check the compatibility of the own hardware with free software. It could be a simple library used through the terminal or a complete program with a nice GUI in order to browse the hardware and interact with h-node.com. Perhaps it could be also used to submit new hardware to h-node.com.

A python library to connect to h-node.com and submit new hardware from the terminal has been written (h-client). It has to be improved. Also, the server has to be improved in order to give better responses to requests made from the terminal

You can download the client by typing the following command:

svn co svn://svn.savannah.nongnu.org/h-source/trunk/h-client

In order to test it just type:

python hclient.py

You have to install pyGTK and pycurl installed (they would most likely be already installed).
