Has anybody tried to use Metakit with Twisted? Is there anyway to avoid blocking using Metakit, using Deferred etc. ??

I know Glyph was using it at some point, and the assumption was it's fast enough that you don't need to do anything special. IMPORTANT: Deferreds do not make code magically not-block! They make working with non-blocking code easier, but to make blocking code not block you need to either split it up (e.g. long calculations), switch to non-blocking API, or use threads. -- Itamar Shtull-Trauring http://itamarst.org/ http://www.zoteca.com -- Python & Twisted consulting
