CAREFUL NOW! This library is not yet ready for production use and currently only works on Linux systems that provide epoll.
Shortwave is a library of components for Python network applications. It has been put together from separate modules, libraries and applications that I have worked on over the years.
The library is coming together quickly. Much of the pre-existing code is well tested and the job is to bring these parts together as a coherent whole.
So far, Shortwave consists of the following:
Low-level components for TCP communication.
This layer sits just above raw sockets.
It hosts a synchronous Transmitter and an asynchronous Receiver that are brought together within an extensible Connection object.
An implementation of RFC 822 plus some other utilities for network messaging.
An HTTP client implementation.
A collection of URI and URI template functions as described by RFCs 3986 and 6570.
TODO: Lots. Working on it.
Install the command line interface by running python setup.py develop.
