This is an interesting idea, but Twisted is pretty heavyweight, and as Karl said, there are really a lot of cases that could be handled by polling rather than traditional "Comet" long-lived requests. That being said, if you wanted to implement this, it would be possible to do using the standard library's asyncore module, plus a little hunk of code from medusa that allows you to wake up the asyncore loop from another thread. This would be significantly more lightweight than the alternative. If you need any pointers on how to do this, just let me know. -- Jonathan LaCour http://cleverdevil.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
