[Twisted-Python] Twisted.web2 or Nevow?
Hi, I want to add a simple http server to my game server to allow monitors and GMs to use a web interface to access game state information. I also want to produce an integrated game web site. My game server is using a twisted.reactor to handle TCP connections. My question is, which two similar technologies should I focus on to provide the HTTP angle? twisted.web2 or Nevow? So far I have mostly research Nevow, and seen how twistd is used to launch the application. How would Nevow then be integrated with my own app and its own reactor? Many thanks Simon -- http://www.squirtual-reality.com -------------------------------- Linux user #458601 - http://counter.li.org.

See http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/TwistedWebPlan There's also a dedicated web mailing list, twisted-web@twistedmatrix.com.

Nevow supplies you with a protocol factory. You just set it up on the port you want like any other factory. There's nothing that particularly requires twistd, although as with most Twisted applications, using twistd gives you a lot of extra features with very little effort. Jean-Paul

Thanks, That clears things up for me a lot. -- http://www.squirtual-reality.com -------------------------------- Linux user #458601 - http://counter.li.org.
