[IPython-dev] question about decision to use twisted

[Darren Dale]

I have a data acquisition and analysis project that currently uses Parallel 
Python for distributed processing and PyQt4's for some threading and event 
handling. I am concidering the processing module scheduled for inclusion in 
the python standard library starting with version 2.6, and also I am trying 
to get my head around twisted.

I would like to know what the ipython developers concerns were at the time the 
decision was made to use twisted in ipython1, was there some discussion on 
the ipython mailing lists? Any advice or comments would be greatly 
appreciated.
