Nearing the End

Twisted is an event-driven networking framework.

• Twisted Matrix Laboratories Projects
  • Twisted Web is a web server
    • Nevow: A Web Application Construction Kit (wiki)
    • stan: Generate HTML via straight Python.
    • Athena: Ajax but better, server-side Python driven Ajax! (replaces "LivePage")
    • Formal: form generation for Nevow. (previously called "Forms", replaces "Formless").
  • Twisted Web2, should not be considered stable

Glyph notes from The Twisted-web Archives

• nevow.livepage has been deprecated in favor of nevow.athena. I don't think anyone is maintaining nevow.canvas any more.
• Pollenation's "Formal" seems to be replacing [formless] as a de-facto standard in the community for people who want form generation. It may even be distributed with Nevow at some point. However, formless itself is somewhat of a dead end; while it contains some handy convenience utilities to slap a form on a page, you end up having to do almost as much work to get a decent-looking form with formless as just writing the HTML by hand yourself, and the rules are often implicit and undocumented.
