This is a basic client/server notebook project.

• client asks for input and sends it with XML-RPC
• server saves notes into XML
• server can call Wikipedia search and append a result

The XML file uses this structure:

<data>
  <topic name="Animal Things">
    <note name="Dogs are better than cats 03">
      <text>Dogs respond when you call their name (unlike cats, who just ignore you)</text>
      <timestamp>03/16/21 - 14:03:04</timestamp>
    </note>
  </topic>
</data>

• Python 3.10+
• Internet connection for Wikipedia search

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

python server.py

python client.py

1. Add note (topic + note name + text + timestamp)
2. Get topic contents
3. Search Wikipedia
4. Append first Wikipedia result to a topic
5. Exit

The server is threaded and XML writes use a lock, so multiple clients can send requests at the same time.
