17th January 2001

User manual for the server:

• To create your watchlists on telstra.com automatically:
  1. Set up the stock codes you wish to monitor in your UserGroups.txt file
  2. Run the command: ShareWatchTelstra.py check This should dump some output like:

       Automatic generation will add 62 codes, in 7 watchlists.
       List 0:  ['FFL', 'MLB', 'PAS', 'PDP', 'TLSWPF', 'AEX', 'CML', 'OKN', 'NEV']
       List 1:  ['NDY', 'TAB', 'TLS', 'CGO', 'EHY', 'HSN', 'IGP', 'KAZ', 'MUL']
       List 2:  ['POT', 'RKN', 'SAS', 'SOH', 'SEX', 'TPL', 'TST', 'AAP', 'CWO']
       List 3:  ['DVT', 'OTT', 'DGD', 'LHG', 'MIM', 'NBH', 'ORI', 'RIO', 'WMC']
       List 4:  ['BHP', 'WPL', 'QAN', 'MAY', 'WWA', 'BTC', 'BTCO', 'PBT', 'PRY']
       List 5:  ['CDO', 'DJS', 'HVN', 'WOW', 'FBG', 'LNN', 'CCL', 'DSF', 'GMF']
       List 6:  ['AMP', 'CBA', 'NAB', 'SGB', 'SME', 'WBC', 'LEI', 'TCL']
      That should allow you to check you've got everything listed :)
      Then pick a name, such as foobar. Run the command: ShareWatchTelstra.py generate foobar
      This will create the usernames foobar0, foobar1, etc. The output should resemble:

User manual for the client:

• Move the ticker around using the left mouse button
• To bring up the HTML window, double click with the right mouse button
• The HTML window's links (for graphs) only work for telstra.com currently, and use urllib. This will need to be fixed for future releases. (ie. go through the soap server)

  Notes

• The software has been tested to run with Python 1.5.2 and wxPython 2.2 on Windows NT and Windows 98.
• To run the ShareWatchService, the win32 extensions for python must be installed. Otherwise, just use the ShareWatchServer
• Code is still scratchy in places. Todo:
• Test on other platforms
• Improve user interface
