There is a project built on top of Twisted that does exactly this, called Orbited (http://orbited.org/). It works, and I use it for internal real-time stats web pages. The one caveat I have with it is that it recently appears to be somewhat inactive - though I use it so much I might fork it and continue development ;-) A good article showing you how to use Orbited is: http://cometdaily.com/2008/10/10/scalable-real-time-web-architecture-part-2-a-live-graph-with-orbited-morbidq-and-jsio/ Other articles are featured on the orbited site. If you're looking for a scalable, long-polling queue broadcaster *in general*, I highly suggest nginx_http_push - an addon module for the popular C-based asynchronous web server nginx (http://pushmodule.slact.net/). Start with Orbited though, and see where it takes you ;-) Cheers, Reza -- Reza Lotun mobile: +44 (0)7521 310 763 email: rlo...@gmail.com work: r...@tweetdeck.com twitter: @rlotun _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
