Glad you asked! Twisted and circuits aren't really that similar - they have very different architectures/designs. circuits is simpler :) They are similar only in that they are both event/asynchronous frameworks. circuits also has asynchronous/non-blocking sockets (TCPServer, TCPClient, UDPServer and UDPClient) as well as simple implementations of EchoServer, Telnet and others. There are also implementations of the HTTP and IRC protocols (all following the component design). With respect to Kamaelia, I have read about this and looged over their material briefly. I can only say one thing. circuits and Kamaelia share nothing in common really. Kamaelia claims to be of a Component design/architecture - but to be frank it's overly complicated - and I'd hate to write systems like that :) cheers James -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
