Thank you for your answer!
I am not "dead set" to Python, but a) Python is the "de facto" language for AI/machine learning and b) LUA can be rather limiting in this regard, especially given I am not able to "require" anything ( and c) you could also use other languages than Python).
Could you specify what you mean by "connecting to the server"? I do not mean to connect "to a server", I just want to communicate from lua script to [the other language]. Luasocket library would allow this, but I have not been able to "require 'socket' " it in lua.
But what is this server you speak of? Do you mean connecting to the ongoing game on Toribash via some way like Telnet/SSH? Does that provide the game state and also allow controlling the character? I need to be able to do functionality like lua's "get_player_info" and "set_joint_state".
