Just because *your* prior knowledge of Python doesn't include
event-driven processing using network libraries, doesn't mean it's a
completely new and unknown thing to other people. There are reasons why
"data_received" is better (less ambiguous) than "feed".

If you want to influence tulip's design, however, this is the wrong
