Untwisting Twisted

by Anuvrat Parashar (speaking)

Section
Workshops
Technical level
Intermediate

Objective

Understand the basics of twisted eg deferreds, protocols and factories.
Use the knowledge to build small applications.

Description

Twisted is an awesome tool for asynchronous programming. But it can be a bit daunting for beginners, basically because of the lack of extensive user friendly documentation.
This session aims to get people comfortable with the basics with the help of some simple hands on examples.

Requirements

A laptop running linux, having python 2.7 and Twisted 13.x installed. (preferably in a separate virtualenv).

Though it is not impossible to run Twisted on Windows, it would be smoother for everyone to try out the hands on experiences on a Linux box.

Speaker bio

  • Been tinkering around twisted for over an year.
  • Wrote a distributed web crawling/parsing system with twisted at work.
  • Been a fan of twisted ever since.

    Kindly make the following changes:

    • Provide a link for Twisted in the description
    • AFAIK, twisted can work on windows as well. If that's the case, then mention windows in OS list.
    • Mention the version of Python to be installed
    • If you'd want the attendees to do some extra setup, please do provide a brief writeup or link as to how they should do it.
