A deployment module for Django that uses Twisted.
Project description
A complete wire harness for your python web app.
(ie, handles bytes-on-the-wire to and from your Django thing or whatever)
Python has wonderful web technologies and solutions for exposing web applications and network resources, such as mod_wsgi, uWSGI and Gunicorn.
Hendrix seeks to add to this discussion by focusing on:
Being async-native and providing “web culture” APIs for doing “async stuff.”
Being more feature-rich instead of more lightweight
Adopting an agnosticism about the status of WSGI and web applications as network services
More about the hendrix philosophy [here](philosophy.md).
## Drawbacks
Because hendrix relies on parts of Twisted that are not compatible with Python 3, hendrix is not yet Python 3-ready for many use cases.
For many comparable situations - especially the simple synchornous/ blocking scenario, Hendrix likely uses more RAM and CPU than lighter-weight Python web servers.
## Getting started
See the [Quickstart](quickstart.md) or [FAQ](faq.md).
## History It started as a fork of the [slashRoot deployment module](https://github.com/SlashRoot/WHAT/tree/44f50ee08c5d7acb74ed8a4ce928e85eb2dc714f/deployment).
The name is the result of some inane psychological formula wherein the ‘twisted’ version of Django Reinhardt is Jimi Hendrix.
Hendrix is currently maintained by [Reelio](reelio.com).
