My guess is that it has to do with Twister, the classic board(?) game.

This looks quite good. You might want to check if the code examples
actually work, though: The "hands-on training" example in the section
"Tasks of our own" redefines the `callback` function in line 12.

Best regards,

Albert

Now I am so glad I didn't rant about release management being a sucker's
game in my Pycon talk ;-)

[Twisted-Python] prerelease preview predocumentation

2011-03-23 Thread Glyph Lefkowitz 
Dear Twistizens,

Unfortunately, the Sphinx documentation didn't quite officially make the cut 
for the 11.0 release.  Our release toolchain still needs updating, someone 
needs to review the rst sources, etc.  Until all that's done, all documentation 
changes will still need to be Lore patches.  Plus, I kinda hope that someone 
manages to get  merged before we pull the trigger.

However, we've been generating Sphinx output for quite a while, and quite a lot 
of work has gone into its presentation.  It seems a pity to let that go to 
waste.  So, while our official documentation remains at 
 (and that is the URL that will be 
updated when the release goes out), I've decided to host some un-official 
documentation with all the snazzy styling that Kevin Horn prepared for us here, 
to go with the pre-release that Jessica McKellar just announced:



I know that there's some extraneous spacing; that will be fixed after the ReST 
sources make it to trunk, unless someone feels like fixing it in 
.  (Also, API documentation links for 
new features will be broken until the 11.0 API documentation is pushed to 
.)

However, this documentation snapshot should be otherwise usable, and I'm 
contemplating linking to it from the front page.

Please be aware that this is not a stable URL, and any links to it will break 
after a while; I have no fixed schedule for taking it down, but it will 
definitely go away when the final documentation branch is merged.  Otherwise, 
though, read documentation to your hearts' content.

Share and Enjoy,

-glyph
