Hi, I needed to develop a highly scalable multi-threaded TCP server in Python and when I started writing it in 2013 I could not find a suitable library that would scale the way I needed but also easy to use.
So I invented one - it's called Pyloom. If you want to take a look, it's part of my DBIS project at the moment: https://sourceforge.net/p/dbis/code/ci/default/tree/src/pyloom Question: does anyone see the value of this library? Would you like me to fork it as a separate project? Is SF.net good enough or do people prefer Python libraries to be hosted somewhere else? In a nutshell, Pyloom is a multi-threaded TCP server class which you overload in your own program. The library provides: * Connection management. * 1 or more marshal threads that listen and pick up new connections, passing to a pool of dedicated worker threads, each of which can manage multiple sessions. * Methods that you override for handling various states: new connection, data received, send data, close connection. * Can track custom sockets and wake up a session when there is I/O on the socket. * Has a notification service so that one session can wait for data to be processed/collected by a different session, and can be woken up when the data is ready. Let me know if anyone is interested in re-using this library. Tested ok on Linux and Solaris, not tried on Windows yet. Best regards, Mark. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
