nbhttp - Tools for building non-blocking HTTP components

NOTE: This is no longer maintained! See mnot/thor.

* About nbhttp

nbhttp is a set of libraries for building non-blocking (a.k.a. asynchronous

or event-driven) HTTP clients, servers and intermediaries. 

Its aims are to expose full HTTP functionality in a conformant manner, with

the maximum potential for performance.

It is NOT YET SUITABLE FOR PRODUCTION USE. In particular, the code has not 

been optimised or benchmarked, nor are there limits on resource usage, logging

or any number of other things that make a practical web server or intermediary

a useful thing.

However, it's lots of fun to prototype and play with.

* Requirements

nbhttp needs Python 2.5 or greater; see 

Optionally, it will take advantage of the pyevent extension, if installed.

See .

* Installation

If you have setuptools, you can install from the repository:

> easy_install nbhttp

Otherwise, download a tarball and install using:

> python setup.py install
