While the #1 article here is still about Twisted, I just wanted to link: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks permalink for archive readers: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-twist1.html Maybe if somebody could post this to slashdot as well, I will actually be /physically unable/ to access the internet! Hooray! (Many thanks to Dr. Mertz for this excellent article.)
