20====================================================================
21
22PyKotIcon is a cross-platform client-side helper for PyKota.
23
24It is meant to be launched whenever the user logs in, and stay in
25the taskbar (depending on the client operating system) until the
26user closes his session.
27
28It's icon represents a green dollar sign when the user is still allowed
29to print, and a red dollar sign when he is forbidden to print on at
30least one printer.

32INSTALLATION :
33--------------
34
35on the client :
36
37  $ python setup.py install
38  $ pykoticon pykota_server_ip_address 7654
39 
40on the pykota server, in pykota.conf, just set :
41
42--- CUT ---
43overwrite_jobticket: /home/jerome/pykoticon/tests/test.py $PYKOTAJOBORIGINATINGHOSTNAME 7654
44--- CUT ---
45
46NB : here we arbitrarily chose 7654 as the TCP port, please choose
47any unused port for testing. The TCP port on client and server's
48command line MUST be identical, however on the client (pykoticon)
49side, the first parameter to pykoticon MUST be the print server's ip
50address or hostname : this allows PyKotIcon to only accept requests
51coming from your print server. In the future it will be possible to
52do better filtering to allow several print servers for example.
53 
54NB2 : You need wxPython for PyKotIcon to work. 
55 
56NB3 : Don't expect too much yet ! This release is for developpers only.
