Twisted is an event-based framework for internet applications, supporting Python 3.6+.It includes modules for many different purposes, including the following:
twisted.web
: HTTP clients and servers, HTML templating, and a WSGI servertwisted.conch
: SSHv2 and Telnet clients and servers and terminal emulatorstwisted.words
: Clients and servers for IRC, XMPP, and other IM protocolstwisted.mail
: IMAPv4, POP3, SMTP clients and serverstwisted.positioning
: Tools for communicating with NMEA-compatible GPS receiverstwisted.names
: DNS client and tools for making your own DNS serverstwisted.trial
: A unit testing framework that integrates well with Twisted-based code.
Twisted supports all major system event loops --select
(all platforms),poll
(most POSIX platforms),epoll
(Linux),kqueue
(FreeBSD, macOS), IOCP (Windows), and various GUI event loops (GTK+2/3, Qt, wxWidgets).Third-party reactors can plug into Twisted, and provide support for additional event loops.
To install the latest version of Twisted using pip:
$ pip install twisted
Additional instructions for installing this software are inthe installation instructions.
Twisted's documentation is available from theTwisted Matrix website.This documentation contains how-tos, code examples, and an API reference.
Help is also available on theTwisted mailing list.
There is also a pair of very lively IRC channels,#twisted
(for general Twisted questions) and#twisted.web
(for Twisted Web),on irc.libera.chat <https://web.libera.chat/>_.
Twisted has a comprehensive test suite, which can be run bytox
:
$ tox -l # to view all test environments$ tox -e nocov # to run all the tests without coverage$ tox -e withcov # to run all the tests with coverage$ tox -e alldeps-withcov-posix # install all dependencies, run tests with coverage on POSIX platform
You can test running the test suite under the different reactors with theTWISTED_REACTOR
environment variable:
$ env TWISTED_REACTOR=epoll tox -e alldeps-withcov-posix
Some of these tests may fail if you:
- don't have the dependencies required for a particular subsystem installed,
- have a firewall blocking some ports (or things like Multicast, which Linux NAT has shown itself to do), or
- run them as root.
You can ensure that code complies to Twistedcoding standards:
$ tox -e lint # run pre-commit to check coding stanards$ tox -e mypy # run MyPy static type checker to check for type errors
Or, for speed, use pre-commit directly:
$ pipx run pre-commit run
