<p> Twisted is an asynchronous networking framework written in Python,
15
supporting TCP, UDP, multicast, SSL/TLS, serial communication and
16
more. It is used by most of the servers, clients and protocols that
17
are part of other <a href="/projects/">Twisted projects</a>. </p>
19
<p>A full <a href="/documents/current/api/">API reference</a> of
20
Twisted and all subprojects is available.</p>
23
Twisted contains a number of modules:
27
<li><a href="cred">twisted.cred</a>, a pluggable authentication system for
29
<li><a href="enterprise">twisted.enterprise</a>, an asynchonous adaptor of
30
Python DB-API 2.0 database interfaces;</li>
31
<li><a href="internet">twisted.internet</a>, the Twisted event loop;</li>
32
<li><a href="manhole">twisted.manhole</a>, a debugging service;</li>
33
<li>twisted.persisted, a collection of object persistance systems</li>
34
<li>twisted.protocols, a collection of simple network protocols and helper
36
<li>twisted.python, a set of Twisted programming abstractions;
37
<li><a href="spread">twisted.spread</a>, a network transport, serializer and
39
<li>twisted.trial, a unit-testing framework; and</li>

The "Twisted" tarball contains only twisted core. The other subprojects are available on their own webpages.

The "Twisted-sumo" tarball contains twisted core, all the Twisted python subprojects, and Zope-Interface.
