[Twisted-Python] High-level view of Twisted

Hi, I'd like to come to grips with Twisted, and so far I've been following and tweaking example after example. But I'm finding it incredibly hard to get a high level view of the Twisted "landscape" — and because I don't know what I don't know, it's hard to know what questions to even ask. I want t

I have the beginnings of some task-based documentation available in twisted-docs (https://github.com/tdavis/twisted-docs) now. You can find the built version in the usual place (http://docs.recursivedream.com/twisted/) -- just remember to bust the cache. I chose serving web content as a starting p

Hi! I'm quite happy that my question (or really: Itamar's answer) triggered the interesting discussion about glossaries. But there are some aspects about SerialPort that are not yet clear to me. So I'm trying to reclaim this thread ;-). On Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 08:25:52AM -0500, Itamar Turner-T

[Twisted-Python] A Python enum library with a Twist

Hi, First off there isn't actually a twist, it's just for Twisted addressing the points in #4671 [1]. Sorry to disappoint. Secondly I realise there are already at least a thousand Python enum libraries, most of which I haven't explored, feel free to mention these with supporting arguments. My poi
