Well, since it will be io based, why not use threads? They are easy to
use and it would do the job just fine. Then leverage some other
technology on top of that.
You could go as far as using wget via os.system() in a thread, if the
app is simple enough.
def getSite(site):
os.system('wget %s',site)
threadList =[]
for site in websiteList:
threadList.append(threading.Thread( target=getSite,args=(site,)))
for thread in threadList:
thread.start()
for thread in threadList:
thread.join()
