thespian 2.5.5

Python Actor concurrency library

Thespian is a Python library providing a framework for developing

concurrent, distributed, fault tolerant applications.

Thespian is built on the Actor Model which allows applications to be written as a group of independently executing but cooperating “Actors” which communicate via messages. These Actors run within the Actor System provided by the Thespian library.

• Concurrent

• Distributed

• Fault Tolerant

• Scalable

• Location independent

Actor programming is broadly applicable and it is ideally suited for Cloud-based applications as well, where compute nodes are added and removed from the environment dynamically.
