The Twisted Network Framework
The Twisted Network Framework: "Abstract
Twisted is a framework for writing asynchronous, event-driven networked programs in Python -- both clients and servers. In addition to abstractions for low-level system calls like select(2) and socket(2), it also includes a large number of utility functions and classes, which make writing new servers easy. Twisted includes support for popular network protocols like HTTP and SMTP, support for GUI frameworks like GTK+/GNOME and Tk and many other classes designed to make network programs easy. Whenever possible, Twisted uses Python's introspection facilities to save the client programmer as much work as possible. Even though Twisted is still work in progress, it is already usable for production systems -- it can be used to bring up a Web server, a mail server or an IRC server in a matter of minutes, and require almost no configuration."
