----
**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:
## `shortwave.transmission`
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.
## `shortwave.messaging`
An implementation of RFC 822 plus some other utilities for network messaging.
## `shortwave.http`
An HTTP client implementation.
## `shortwave.uri`
A collection of URI and URI template functions as described by RFCs 3986 and 6570.
----
**TODO: Lots. Working on it.**
----
## Command Line Usage
Install the command line interface by running `python setup.py develop`.
### GET a web page
```
shortwave.http get -v http://shortwave.tech/hello
```
### POSTing data
```
shortwave.http post -j -v http://shortwave.tech/json '{"greeting": "hello, world"}'
```
