GTO-: a wrapper for GTO+'s socket interface

GTO+ is a state of the art solver for Texas Holdem. It provides most functionality that users would want but lacks a supported programmatic scripting interface. However, there is an unofficial socket interface, and this library provides a wrapper around that interface.

Setup

There are two steps to access GTO+ via sockets:

1. you need to add/modify a file in the GTO+ directory in ProgramFiles. Namely, you need to add a file GTO+/tmp/customconnect.txt with contents:

   override
   

2. you need to ensure you are connecting to the correct port. By default this library uses port 55143 which should be the port that GTO+ uses by default: if not, you can alter the port either in GTO+'s options or by specifying another port when invoking this interface.

Use

Once you've performed both setup steps above you can import gto and create a new GTO instance which will act as your interface to the solver:

>>> import gto

>>> s = GTO(port=55143)
>>> s.connect()
'You are connected to GTO+'
>>> s.load_file("some/file.gto")
>>> nd = s.request_node_data()
>>> nd['pos']
'oop'
>>> nd['actions']
['Bet 1', 'Check']
