>order to use socket.* calls !
>That's not really what I call a simple way of extending the Lua 
>possibilities :)

>I think Lua should provide something quite similar to Python : a 
>directory of libraries that are dynamicaly loaded with the Lua 
>interpretor, and something similar to import for module loading in the 
>Lua script.

>I don't know if it is possible, or even if it is part of the Lua 
>improvements planned.
