Do you >believe twisted-python could be a substitute for groupkit?. . . . As I *think* it hasn't appeared in comp.lang.python, I reproduce here remarks by the Groupkit author in (no longer) private e-mail:
Twisted offers more of a low-level equivalent to the event-driven IO that comes standard in Tcl, plus many higher level network protocols on top of that. It doesn't offer a focus on groupware application level constructs like session management, awareness, etc., nor am I aware of anything in Python that tries to tackle this niche. If someone were wanting to move GroupKit-like features to Python, twisted would be the best framework to build upon, but as is, it's missing things you'd probably like from GroupKit.
