I wish it had an XML-RPC interface like this:

context = egdass_server.get_context_template(type = 'treatment advice', 
topic='diabetes')

print context.cookie
context.set('dob', ...)
context.set('insulin dependant', True)
context.set('last HbA1c', yesterday(), lab.value('HbA1c', yesterday))

success = False
while not success:
        success, advice = egdass_server.get_advice(context = context)
        if success:
                break
        print advice -> "last fasting sugar"            (mainly for programmers 
to get it right)
        input = get_user_input(advice)
        context.set(advice, yesterday(), input)

print advice -> "Looks good, keep on regime"


Will review a bit and post what I think. Jim, please keep
notes on the Wiki if you find the time.
