I'l like to start a discussion about working-out an integration implementation for ZeroMQ in web2py. If not as a "built-in", than at least as a "contrib". If nothing else, than at the very least a recipe and/or examples, and added documentation about how to activate/deploy the integration.
ZeroMQ is, to me, one of the coolest things that have happened to the software industry in recent decades... Gone are the days of monolithic systems - open-source has changed the software world entirely, and there is no going back - the days are the days of the integration,hybrid-system, modularity, and variety of components, and ZeroMQ is fast becoming the best candidate for filling the gaps and being the glue that can best bind all things together - beyond the concept of a static-centralized message broker. Fast, efficient, flexible, easy to use, decentralized, free, cross-platform, poliglot, and for not just for messagins, but also for rpc and REST (the concept, not the protocols), and not even just for networking, but also for itc and ipc. I think the more software will esit that has it buil-in, the more easy it will become to build dynamically changing modular software infrastructures. Now, the first thing that I am personally interested about, is to have a 0MQ-RPC service alongside the existing services. There are already existing python modules that do that, it is only a matter of picking one and integrating is as just another service. For example: https://github.com/dotcloud/zerorpc-python In addition, there are initiatives for having ZeroMQ-complaint sockets on the client-side. Here are a few examples: http://vimeo.com/41410528 http://www.zeromq.org/topics:0mq-over-http http://blog.fanout.io/2012/09/26/make-http-requests-over-zeromq-with-zurl/ Web2py can be another one of the frameworks that implement a ZeroMQ bridge between clients and the rest of the back-end software infrastructure.
