I have a project which might largely overlap with this.
The stack is:
- twisted (web, web sockets, other protocols in a consistent
framework)
- doqu (an abstraction layer to nosql database backends, can be the
standard shelve module, Redis, Tokyo Cabinet, etc)
- jinja2
- wtforms
- dojo (javascripts)
Communications between nodes is done with 2 modules: a server
(portal) and a client (satellite).
Currently, small demo applications include:
- file sharing (download + uploads)
- image slideshows
- music streaming
- localisation / geotagging / mapping (eg: a gsm signal quality
monitoring function for smartphones or wifi for laptops)
More information about the goals are here:
http://hanji.info/doc/user/faq.html , the repo is online:
http://hg.hanji.info/ .
I'd be happy if someone wants to join, or i'm open to merging the
projects.
Philippe

I can fork out of Diaspora and implement features but mainly for two
reasons
With the technologies now available in python it would be much
easier than me learning ROR and implementing.
One of the goals of the project is to have something similar to
Diaspora for the python developers.

Its not about competing with Diaspora, there's nothing wrong with
that, we always need better or different flavors. My question is why
not fork out of Diaspora and implement your features ? Why do you
want
to start the project from scratch ? Deepak On Thu, Aug 2, 2012 at

Thanks Aditya, I will look at these.. hoping these are all open
source. It will help me think through the architecture once again.
I myself am a hobbyist programmer and this community will turn me to
real-programmer one day. Once we wet our hands on the code the repo
will be there for everyone to fork.

I'm new here (hello all) and to Python (hello all, again!) so please
pardon any n00b errors. @Yoganand, You wrote: > Thats right. Diaspora
clone you could call. Do we have something like that already written
in python? There are at least 3 "distributed" SNs using Python,
according to this list
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_social_network Newebe
(Python
/ Coffeescript, AGPL) * one user = one node ; microblogging, picture
sharing, activity stream * Server / web client ---- Salut ? Toi
(Python, C++) * multi-frontends, microblogging, group microblogging,
file sharing, games, XMPP client * XMPP client (multi-frontends), web
server, SMTP/IMAP server ---- Sparkleshare (Python (Nautilus plugin),
C# (rest)) * Collaboration and sharing tool inspired by Dropbox These
(and potentially other in-Python implementations) in the list may not
necessarily use P2P protocols, but you did say 'P2P or something
similar'. Also, if you've not already seen GNU's P2P networking
framework, perhaps i
t will help think through architecture: https://gnunet.org/ Please
let me know if really-wet-behind-the-ears, not-yet-real-programmers
like me can also join in when you publish the repo. Best, Aditya

This is nice Philippe. Hanji does much more than I was thinking in
distributed social application. Can you let us know how we could take
this forward? What are you project goals and what plans you have in
mind for Hanji. Meanwhile i will checkout the code and go over the
documentation.

I am having couple of issues in installing hanji.
>> ./setup.py get_dojo_custom gives me invalid option error
>> Running tokyo cabinet. I was able to build and install tokyo
cabinet but with pip install tokyo-python I get following error
"tokyo-python requires Tokyo Cabinet >= 1.4.45 to be installed"
