Piped: a framework and application server with pipelines

Piped is an MIT-licensed framework and application server with built-in support for flow based programming written in Python that focuses on:

• Extendability.
• Painless integrating with other systems.
• Testing and maintainability.
• Performance.
• Ease of use.

Being based on Twisted http://twistedmatrix.com/, a base Piped installation already speaks multiple protocols, such as HTTP, SMTP and Perspective Broker. Contrib packages that extend Piped are also available.
