Evented Django part one: Socket.IO and gevent #Socket.IO was developed with a #Node.JS server implementation, but work is being done to add server implementations to a variety of languages. Two such servers exist for Python, tornadio and #gevent-socketio. I'm a big fan of gevent, so I will use gevent-socketio, but tornadio looks well-written and very promising. http://codysoyland.com/2011/feb/6/evented-django-part-one-socketio-and-gevent/

http://sahandsaba.com/understanding-asyncio-node-js-python-3-4.html I spent this summer working on a #web_platform running on #Node.js. This was the first time I worked full-time with Node.js and one thing that became quite apparent after a few weeks of working with it was that many developers, including myself at the time, lack clarify on exactly how the #asynchronous features of Node.js work, and how they are implemented at a lower level. Since I believe the only way to use a platform efficiently is to have a clear understanding of how it works, I decided to dig deeper. This curiosity also made me start playing around with implementing similar asynchronous features in other languages, in particular Python, it being my go-to language for experimenting and learning. This led me to Python 3.4's asynchronous IO library asyncio in particular, which intersected with my already existing interest in coroutines (see my post on combinatorial generation using coroutines in Python.) This post is about exploring the questions and answers that came up while I was learning more about this subject, which I hope can help clarify and answer some questions for others as well.
