There was a renaming of many methods in one fork of miniboa, and through error I never originally published a fully working miniboa because of this inconsistency.
It would always hard error if the client sent a 3 byte command (such as ^c). Fixed now!
Also there was the issue with flake8 dropping Python 2.6 support. To remedy, we just use pyflakes and pycodestyle (pep8) now.
