Hi, Just a question to ZServer experts... Why Zope developer chose Medusa ? I made a short run with Medusa and Twisted, and it seems that using Twisted is easier and more flexible. But perhaps I'm missing something. Note this is not a troll but just a question :-) -- Gilles

Because Twisted didn't exist when Zope was written. Even today Twisted is a questionable asset to Zope development. While its probably better at being a multi-server framework than Medusa/asyncore, its not clear that the direction Zope should move is towards a multi-server framework. That said, I'm willing to bet that will go that direction regardless. -- Jamie Heilman http://audible.transient.net/~jamie/ "You came all this way, without saying squat, and now you're trying to tell me a '56 Chevy can beat a '47 Buick in a dead quarter mile?

Twisted wasn't even a gleam in anyone's eye when ZServer was first written. Most of the code in ZServer dates back to about five years ago. That's a million years in Internet time. ;-) On Sat, 2004-01-03 at 18:27, Gilles Lenfant wrote:
