Network programming with the Twisted framework, Part 1 (IBM developerWorks)

[Posted June 30, 2003 by cook]

David Mertz looks at Twisted on IBM's developerWorks. "Twisted is an increasingly popular pure-Python framework for programming network services and applications. While there are a large number of loosely coupled modular components within Twisted, a central concept to the framework is the idea of non-blocking asynchronous servers. In this article, David introduces you to this style of programming -- a novel one for developers accustomed to threading or forking servers, but one capable of great efficiency under heavy loads."
