announce and lookup

[resession]

is an announce and lookup feature in the roadmap? like the bittorrent mainline dht, announce('someString') which will announce to the network and add this node's ip and port under this 'someString' and then other nodes can do lookup('someString') and then find all the nodes(their ip and port) listed under that 'someString'. or is this kind of functionality already implemented right now?

I may implement a "group" system for nodes later.

You can also specify a custom ID like "mynode" in the node constructor so when looking for "mynode" it will be found, this should only return a single node though.

I'm really busy with work right now so the group feature may be implemented later.

understandable, i will keep this package/project in mind. i find the concept of dht very interesting.
