hi; i was writing third party sip call controller when a friend suggested i use twisted. I think it will save me a lot of time, but i had trouble with the following when installing: cvs the pserial and pcrypto required package. the cvs server complians about a wrong password (any hints) i continued without these package and installed using setup.py. Where is a good place to start (the tutorial provided is not really very great) - any other suggestions? moe smadi

Twisted doesn't use CVS anymore. You want to download the released version, 1.3.0, or the packaged version for your platform, or use SVN to check it out. PySerial and PyCrypto are optional. As long as you're only interested SIP, you won't miss them.
The IRC channel (#twisted / irc.freenode.net), the mailing list, the source code. I doubt you'll find much documentation on using the SIP code, beyond the automatically generated API documents. Reading the UDP howto and the cred howto is probably a good start, since SIP relies on both of those aspects of Twisted. Jp

A lot. Also look at Divmod Quotient, as it's got a bunch of SIP server stuff as well. Note that both Shtoom and Quotient are non-trivial users of twisted, so the learning curve will be a bit steep. Anthony -- Anthony Baxter <anthony@interlink.com.au> It's never too late to have a happy childhood.
