IOCPReactor isn't production-ready for most people's definitions of "production". And yes, it's been stagnant for a long time.. AFAIK it's mostly just lack of attention. It's a lot of work, and so far nobody has been able to commit to finishing it. As for the default select-based reactor it should work fine. There aren't any outstanding performance concerns that I am aware of. You will have to test for yourself if it meets your requirements. Hope that helps, -- Eric Mangold Twisted/Win32 Maintainer
I'm new to Twisted. Perusing the documentation, I came across IOCPReactor. It's marked as 'extremely experimental', and it appears it only provides support for TCP events.
It seems the last check in to anything IOCPReactor-related was back in 2005. Is it dead? Is anyone using it? Is anyone planning to pick development back up? Were there specific issues with IOCP that impeded development, or just a general lack of people with time, inclination, or Win32-fu?
Assuming the IOCPReactor's not feasible for high load production deployment, can anyone comment on how the default select()-based reactor for Win32 fares under high load?
Trent.
