[Twisted-Python] nntp protocol supports moderated newsgroups?
by barry＠python.org Oct. 21, 2002

Oct. 21, 2002

Quick question regarding Twisted's nntp server. Please CC me, as I am not on this mailing list. I need to do some testing of moderated newsgroup support in Mailman. Does Twisted's nntp server support moderated newsgroups? If not, I'll look into hacking it in, but I wanted to make sure I'm not duplicating existing work. Thanks, -Barry

[Twisted-Python] Twisted 1.0.0rc3 on WinNT / Cygwin
by jml＠mumak.net Oct. 21, 2002

Oct. 21, 2002

Hi, I just tried to install Twisted 1.0.0rc3 on my box at work, using Windows NT 4.0 and Cygwin. I wasn't very successful at all. Some version info: $ gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.3-5/specs gcc version 2.95.3-5 (cygwin special) $ python Python 2.1.1 (#2, Sep 26 2001, 09:32:53) The initial python setup.py install failed during build_ext, with the following error message: gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -DUSE_DL_IMPORT -I/usr/include/python2.1 -c … [View More]

[Twisted-Python] Doc suggestion for post-installation
by Jeff Bauer Oct. 21, 2002

Oct. 21, 2002

I have a modest suggestion for the "Installing Twisted" document, shamelessly borrowed from ZODB. Upon installation, suggest that the user try running the following from the python interpreter: $ python >>> import twisted.copyright >>> print twisted.copyright.version 1.0.0rc3 This would catch an obvious import error of leaving twisted out of PYTHONPATH, or accidentally using an older, previously installed version of Twisted. If the line: __version__ = "1.0.… [View More]

[Twisted-Python] Connection Pools for websites...
by Ken Kennedy Oct. 20, 2002

Oct. 20, 2002

Hello all: OK...it's time for me to start tossing out my stupid questions. *grin* Even been lurking on the list, trying to grok Twistedness, and waiting for things to get close to 1.0. I'm really looking forward to it. My initial goal is to use Twisted for web serving, in the classic "db-backed website" style. My main question is regarding database connections. I've read the twisted.enterprise docs (though not all the code comments yet), but I haven't seen what I'm looking for. If it's … [View More]

[Twisted-Python] twisted.persisted.journal: a prevayler-inspired persistence system
by Itamar Shtull-Trauring Oct. 20, 2002

Oct. 20, 2002

I've just checked in Journal, a persistence system inspired by Prevayler (http://www.prevayler.org for details). The idea is basically that all interactions with the system are done via serializable commands objects, which are logged *before* they execute. This allows us to keep down number of transactions in the system since in the worst case, the system can be restored by running the logged commands. Additional benefits include being able to rerun sessions for testing performances, changing … [View More]

[Twisted-Python] Twisted Documentation -- The Book
by Moshe Zadka Oct. 20, 2002

Oct. 20, 2002

Having worked a bit with the index.html's structure, I was intrigued to see how an honest-to-god book from the same materials would look like. If you are also intrigued, see http://twistedmatrix.com/users/moshez/book.dvi.gz Summary of the process: 1. Write latex.py (about half an hour, including debugging) 2. Use it to generate "section latexs" of all HTML files in question. 3. Manually process book.html to book.tex, \include'ing all relevant sections 4. Run latex In case anyone is really … [View More]

[Twisted-Python] Minimalist twisted.im interface
by Tim Allen Oct. 20, 2002

Oct. 20, 2002

OK, here's my first draft at a minimalist twisted.im interface. It doesn't let you manage accounts or even actually speak, but it should be enough to give anyone else who wants to write a twisted.im interface a decent idea about what they're required to do. As I said, there's no account management - how do you add accounts? Well, I'm kind of ashamed of the implementation, but basically there's a file called twisted.im.accounts that contains a list of account objects. I'm open to … [View More]

[Twisted-Python] Twisted IM fixes
by Tim Allen Oct. 20, 2002

Oct. 20, 2002

Well, last week I submitted a patch to add some features to Twisted's IRC protocol, and I mentioned on #twisted that I wanted to write a bot framework for IRC. Glyph asked (nicely) that if I was going to write a bot framework, could I please write it for twisted.im, rather than writing it for IRC directly. I'm not yet committed to writing a bot framework for anything, but I *have* been poking around in twisted.im. Firstly, I found two little buglets in the im code (patch attached). … [View More]
