hendrix 0.1.17

A deployment module for Django that uses Twisted.


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.
