I'm not a Python Guru (you might be better off asking on Python-specific forums), but from both working on contributing to a twisted-based application (carbon cache - https://github.com/graphite-project/carbon) and from talking to at least one person about this framework, it seems that it's too complicated and still too limited.
You could end up writing more code to work around twisted limitations than if you wrote your own simple server using standard Python (e.g. https://docs.python.org/2/library/socketserver.html, http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/462525/Simple-HTTP-Server-and-Client-in-Python ). My suggestion - beyond checking its status for the Python version you want, have a spike (http://www.techopedia.com/definition/9503/spike) and see what the code you come up with looks like and whether you like it. --Amos On 22 May 2014 20:11, Oleg Goldshmidt <p...@goldshmidt.org> wrote: > > Hi, > > Can anyone out there comment on the state of twisted on python3? > > We use python3, and we are considering twisted as a candidate platform to > develop a server framework.
