There are libraries built on Twisted to serve web-pages, and if you're doing event-driven programming you should really be using them. Heh, but part of your argument for using POE or Twisted was that "they also both have a very large number of excellent quality libraries to do innumerable other things." I think it's more like a slippery slope of mixing programming paradigms than it is a blatant error. Also, I think it was specifically the Django ORM code that bit them hardest, not HTTP calls. Yes there are ORM options like adbmapper, but I think you increasingly find yourself in the weeds on the fringe of the Python community. //Ed
