[Twisted-Python] A real Newbie question - how to get started
Dear All Twisters out there. I am a complete Twisted newbie (with a little bit of Python experience) and having just installed this (what looks like) a great package, I would like advice on my next step. I am looking to start doing simple (spider) based web clients but really would like a guide or tutorial before jsut spending hours pulling my hair out. Where do you advise me to go. I have had a look at the Tutorial on Finger but this seems like a major development in an area I don't even understand. Is there any specific newbie guides being built or assembled possibly by those on this list. Thanks for your help with something that could just change my life (well a bit of it anyway). Graham

Finger is trivial. It asks a remote server for info about a user. E.g. "finger foo@example.com" at a unix command line will ask example.com, using the finger protocol, for foo's info, whatever that is. Typically a finger server will return contents of the file ".plan" from the user's home directory. -- Itamar Shtull-Trauring http://itamarst.org/ Available for Python & Twisted consulting
