Syncless: asynchronous client and server library using Stackless Python
Project description
Syncless is an experimental, lightweight, non-blocking (asynchronous) client and server socket network communication library for Stackless Python 2.6. (and also for regular Python with greenlet). For high speed, Syncless uses libev (and libevent), and parts of Syncless’ code is implemented in C (Pyrex). Thus Syncless can be faster than many other non-blocking Python communication libraries. Syncless contains an asynchronous DNS resolver (using evdns) and a HTTP server capable of serving WSGI applications. Syncless aims to be a coroutine-based alternative of event-driven networking engines (such as Twisted and FriendFeed’s Tornado), and it’s a competitor of gevent, pyevent, python-libevent, Eventlet and Concurrence.
