What is this?

Twisted is a Python event-based framework for internet applications. It includes modules for many different purposes, including the following:

  • twisted.web: HTTP clients and servers, HTML templating, and a WSGI server

  • twisted.conch: SSHv2 and Telnet clients and servers and terminal emulators

  • twisted.words: Clients and servers for IRC, XMPP, and other IM protocols

  • twisted.mail: IMAPv4, POP3, SMTP clients and servers

  • twisted.positioning: Tools for communicating with NMEA-compatible GPS receivers

  • twisted.names: DNS client and tools for making your own DNS servers

  • twisted.trial: A unit testing framework that integrates well with Twisted-based code.

Twisted supports all major system event loops – select (all platforms), poll (most POSIX platforms), epoll (Linux), kqueue (FreeBSD, macOS), IOCP (Windows), and various GUI event loops (GTK+2/3, Qt, wxWidgets). Third-party reactors can plug into Twisted, and provide support for additional event loops.

Installing

To install the latest version of Twisted using pip:

$ pip install twisted

Additional instructions for installing this software are in the installation instructions.

Documentation and Support

Twisted’s documentation is available from the Twisted Matrix Read The Docs website. This documentation contains how-tos, code examples, and an API reference.

Help is also available on the Twisted mailing list.

There is also an IRC channel, #twisted, on the Libera.Chat network. A web client is available at web.libera.chat.

Unit Tests

Twisted has a comprehensive test suite, which can be run by tox:

$ tox -l                       # to view all test environments
$ tox -e nocov                 # to run all the tests without coverage
$ tox -e withcov               # to run all the tests with coverage
$ tox -e alldeps-withcov-posix # install all dependencies, run tests with coverage on POSIX platform

You can test running the test suite under the different reactors with the TWISTED_REACTOR environment variable:

$ env TWISTED_REACTOR=epoll tox -e alldeps-withcov-posix

Some of these tests may fail if you:

  • don’t have the dependencies required for a particular subsystem installed,

  • have a firewall blocking some ports (or things like Multicast, which Linux NAT has shown itself to do), or

  • run them as root.

Static Code Checkers

You can ensure that code complies to Twisted coding standards:

$ tox -e lint   # run pre-commit to check coding stanards
$ tox -e mypy   # run MyPy static type checker to check for type errors

Or, for speed, use pre-commit directly:

$ pipx run pre-commit run
