This is a simple note-taking application that allows users to add notes to different topics and retrieve them later. The application uses XML-RPC to communicate between the client and server.
To use the application, you need to run the server.py script first. This starts the XML-RPC server on localhost:7777. Once the server is running, you can start the client by running the client.py script. The client will prompt you to choose an option:
- Add note
- Get notes
- Quit
To add a note, choose option 1 and enter the topic, note name, note text, and optionally a link to a Wikipedia page related to the topic. If the topic already exists, the note will be added to it. Otherwise, a new topic will be created and the note added to it. If a Wikipedia link is added, it will be stored along with the note in the database.
To get notes, choose option 2 and enter the topic. The application will retrieve all the notes for the topic and display them on the console. If a Wikipedia link was added to a note, it will be displayed along with the note.
To quit the application, choose option 3.
