Well, of course, each person recommended their own framework. The short version was: - tornado is a web server, if you're not using it, the async stuff is better developed elsewhere - asyncio is very new, not a lot of protocols out in the wild and not much battle testing - twisted is been around the block a lot, huge amounts of support and an active, knowledgeable community. Can feel crufty and old in parts, mind The community bit swung it for me, so I've opted for Twisted, if I ever get a chance to work on the project in question ;-) Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Batch Processing & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
