== West Yorkshire Python User Group Meeting - Thursday 10 May == = Talk: The Twisted Toolbox - Simon Davy =
There are many asynchronous networking libraries for Python, but Twisted has been around the longest by far. Although it suffers from a mixed reputation (some deserved, some not), it has one killer capability that no other async framework has - it's protocol library. Nearly all standard Internet protocols come implemented out-of-the-box on twisted, and when you need it, it's just brilliant. We will look at a simple in-memory SMTP and IMAP server written to speed up acceptance test runs involving email. This will include implementing Twisted SMTP and IMAP interfaces, as well as Twisted.cred, the AUTHN/Z framework. This talk will not assume any prior knowledge of Twisted, but will aim to make the case that in this use case, Twisted is hard to beat. = Date and Time= Thursday 10 May, talk from 7:30pm. If you want to arrive before the talk, the venue will be open from about 6.30. We will be finished by 9, and we will be going to the pub afterwards. = Location = Old Broadcasting House 148 Woodhouse Lane Leeds LS2 9EN We will be holding the talk in the boardroom at the back of the ground floor of the building.
