UIPC_SDK_PYTHON needing help with basic read() write()

[pcssundahl]

I made a server using the python and the fsuipc_sdk_python and I'm able to connect to fsuipc and get the basic variables (fs_version, etc.)

I am stumped though at getting the pyuipc.read() to function correctly it throws a pyuipc.FSUIPCException. So I guess I'm close but the syntax is probably goofing me up. The documentation isn't very in depth for the pyuipc module (at least for a newby like me). If I have it correct I'm wanting to read from the 0x0d0c.

A short snippet of code to show me a read would help a great deal. At this point I'm really just trying to operate my lights on FSX

PS. I'm a newby to this so I guess it's the syntax of prepare_data() and
