Re: [Mod-pubsub-developer] Twisted Internet -- worth investigating as an asyncore.py replacement?

[Chris O. <co...@dy...>]

Twisted wasn't visible in 2001, at leat not to me.  They have come a long
way (and it sounds like I need to look a their code again).  They have
good buzz, and they do provide a lot of useful services, but I have to
admit that the comparison is a little off-putting to me...  My objection
is that they're comparing apples to oranges; asyncore was never intended
to provide all of the services they list, and calling it 'minimally
maintained' is making a failing out of a virtue - it works just fine, so
it hasn't needed much work, and recently got some polish from Guido, if
memory serves.

That said, the Twisted guys are smart, and the code looks pretty good. I'm
going to take another look, but I wouldn't be surprised if I use it
instead of asyncore (or asynchat.py, which is what I tend to use instead
of raw asyncore).
