Write the network link

[whaleygeek]

The network link in anyio.net.GPIO is not written and is just a placeholder.
There is not much to do here, it's just a bit of knitting between the GPIOClient and the adaptor.
The essense is that you will be able to run a GPIO server on a network connected machine (e.g. a Raspberry Pi), then import anyio.net.GPIO as GPIO inside your program on another computer, and remotely control that other machine's GPIO's. Not intended for fast control, but useful for over the network control of devices (e.g. relays etc).

The intention is that you would write your app as a standard GPIO program on a single computer, then just rename RPi.GPIO as anyio.net.GPIO and give it an IP address and a port number, and you can then remotely control that hardware over the network.

The Raspberry Pi Foundation kindly turned my networking resources into a set of lessons on their website here: http://www.raspberrypi.org/learning/networking-lessons/ and uses my network.py as is. The network.py is already inside this package, but I haven't written the knitting code to make this wire up to the anyio abstraction yet. I don't think there's much to do here, I might do this before end of 2014, as it might be a nice feature to build IoT like devices from. The server end would be simple too, I've written lots of example servers already with network.py so it's not much work to make that all happen.
