Overview of this book

Python is a very high level, general purpose language that is utilized heavily in fields such as data science and research, as well as being one of the top choices for general purpose programming for programmers around the world. It features a wide number of powerful, high and low-level libraries and frameworks that complement its delightful syntax and enable Python programmers to create. This book introduces some of the most popular libraries and frameworks and goes in-depth into how you can leverage these libraries for your own high-concurrent, highly-performant Python programs. We'll cover the fundamental concepts of concurrency needed to be able to write your own concurrent and parallel software systems in Python. The book will guide you down the path to mastering Python concurrency, giving you all the necessary hardware and theoretical knowledge. We'll cover concepts such as debugging and exception handling as well as some of the most popular libraries and frameworks that allow you to create event-driven and reactive systems. By the end of the book, you'll have learned the techniques to write incredibly efficient concurrent systems that follow best practices.

Twisted


Twisted in Python is a very popular and very powerful event-driven networking engine that can be used for a huge range of different projects such as web servers, mail clients, sub-systems, and more.

Twisted is an amalgamation of both high- and low-level APIs that can be effectively utilized to create very powerful, elegant programs without masses of boilerplate code. It is both asynchronous and event-based by design and could be compared to the asyncio module as a more fully fleshed out older sibling.

Note

If you are interested in learning far more on the Twisted framework then I fully recommend Twisted Network Programming Essentials, 2nd Edition, by Abe Fettig and Jessica McKellar

A simple web server example

Twisted is absolutely ideal for doing things such as serving websites. We can set up a simple TCP server that listens on a particular endpoint that can serve files from a relative file location to someone requesting it in a browser.

In this example, we'll set up a very simple web...
