Writing Packets

The packet class uses a lot of magic to work, here is how to use them.

Listening for Certain Packets
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let's look at how to listen for certain packets, the relevant method being
.. automethod:: network.connection.Connection.register_packet_listener
An example of this can be found in the ``start.py`` headless client, it is recreated here::
connection = Connection(address, port, login_response)
connection.connect()
def print_chat(chat_packet):
print "Position: " + str(chat_packet.position)
print "Data: " + chat_packet.json_data
from network.packets import ChatMessagePacket
connection.register_packet_listener(print_chat, ChatMessagePacket)
The field names ``position`` and ``json_data`` are inferred by again looking at the definition attribute as before
