twisted and python3

[Amos Shapira]

I'm not a Python Guru (you might be better off asking on Python-specific
forums), but from both working on contributing to a twisted-based
application (carbon cache - https://github.com/graphite-project/carbon) and
from talking to at least one person about this framework, it seems that
it's too complicated and still too limited.

You could end up writing more code to work around twisted limitations than
if you wrote your own simple server using standard Python (e.g.
https://docs.python.org/2/library/socketserver.html,
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/462525/Simple-HTTP-Server-and-Client-in-Python
).

My suggestion - beyond checking its status for the Python version you want,
have a spike (http://www.techopedia.com/definition/9503/spike) and see what
the code you come up with looks like and whether you like it.
