conn = Connection()
conn.connect(passwd='Swordfish')
conn.send('alert("Hello");', True)
print conn.send('$.version;', True)
def callback(message, *args):
print message.command
print message.content
def callback2(message, *args):
print message.command
print message.content
print args
listener = EventListener(conn)
listener.start()
listener.subscribe('foregroundColorChanged', callback)
listener.subscribe('toolChanged', callback2, (True, 'xxx'))
listener.subscribe('currentDocumentChanged', callback)
