Python Actor Runtime LibrarY

PARLEY is a library for writing Python programs that implement the Actor model of distributed systems, in which lightweight concurrent processes communicate through asynchronous message-passing. Actor systems typically are easier to write and debug than traditional concurrent programs that use locks and shared memory.

PARLEY can run using either traditional native threads, greenlets (lightweight threads), or Stackless Python’s tasklets. A program written using PARLEY can choose between these models by changing a single line of code.
