The Twisted framework makes it so easy to create network-aware applications in Python. Twisted speaks all the major Internet protocols, from mail through chat, and it can handle encryption. We’ll show you how to set up a personal web server with Twisted.
Most programmers eventually face the task of adding network communication capabilities to their applications. If it is simply a case of manipulating web content, there are simple answers, but more complex functions, such as adding full-fledged email capabilities or a complete web server, involve much more effort. Although the Python standard library has modules to match most walks of a programmer’s daily life (batteries included, in Python-speak), special applications require external packages. Twisted [1] is a well-organized and powerful collection of modules for adding networking capabilities to Python programs.
