Networking¶
A small collection of pages on network programming topics in Python. Most of Python’s networking story lives elsewhere – in the web development section, in the standard library docs, in Twisted’s own documentation. What’s here covers CORBA bindings, IRC resources, SSL, XML-RPC, and the “Need for Speed” sprint that focused on Python performance improvements.
Protocols and Standards¶
CorbaPython – CORBA IDL language mapping for Python, with links to implementations like omniORBpy and Fnorb
SSL – notes on SSL/TLS support in Python, including the
sslmodule’s history and its security limitationsXmlRpc – XML-RPC in Python, a lightweight protocol for remote procedure calls that transports native data structures
IRC – Python IRC channels (mostly on Freenode) and IRC-related Python libraries
Sprints¶
NeedForSpeed subpages – the “Need for Speed” sprint, focused on improving CPython performance (includes IRC logs)
