^^^^^^
You mean Twisted, of course.
And I think the "almost" is wrong: it's 100% pure Python.
At least, I took the directory tree from my Windows machine and
copied it to a Linux box, rather than dig up a Twisted .tgz to
put on Linux, and everything that *I* was using ran fine. And
I think the "Twistedistas"** say from time to time that it is pure
Python, without qualification.
