[Twisted-Python] newbie comments on documentation

Hi there, I'm starting with twisted (debian package 0.99.2-4), and I'm currently trying to convert a SimpleTCPServer based project to twisted, and therefore reading the documentation and trying to wrap my head around the framework. Here's a few comments. I'm a good (python) programmer, but a complete twisted newbie, and I think I may not be the only one with the same problems/doubts/questions on the documentation. The file quoters.py uses twisted.python.components.Interface, though the text in the Plugin HOWTO says that "Note that this module does not import any Twisted functionality at all!". It is not clear if the Interface declaration is needed or not from reading the code and the HOWTO. The file quoteproto.py imports twisted.internet.app.Application, which is never used. The import line should be removed from the example file. That's all for now. -- Alexandre

That is the result of a disagreement between Itamar and I: I keep taking the Interfaces stuff out, he keeps putting it in :-). I wrote the original doc and that's what the text reflects. The declarations are not necessary and can be omitted if you like. -- | <`'> | Glyph Lefkowitz: Traveling Sorcerer | | < _/ > | Lead Developer, the Twisted project | | < ___/ > | http://www.twistedmatrix.com |
