I'm writing an open source python client for a web service. The client may
be used in all kinds of environments - Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, web
hosting, etc by others. It is not impossible to have twisted as a
dependency, but that makes deployment a larger job than simply uploading a
Python file.
I'm willing to use twisted, but I'd like to explore lighter alternatives
first.
Thanks,
