[Tutor] Python persistent webserver?

[Frank Bloeink]

Hi,

maybe you can have a look at twisted http://twistedmatrix.com , which is
an "event-driven network framework". I think you could easily build your
own server to handle your requests, you don't even need an apache
webserver for that.
Just have a look, there's some documentation/tutorials out there and
there's even a book on the framework called "Twisted Network Programming
Essentials" which I'm working through atm.
