Recently, I had the pleasure of using the Twisted python framework for a
project... so it got me thinking whether it might be beneficial to
re-develop Pywikipedia on the Twisted framework. One of the advantages I
see with this is that the Twisted framework is asynchronous type of
framework and by using the Twisted framework, you could technically queue
and defer your requests where it would fire off your bot requests a lot more
efficiently. Rather than waiting and processing one page at a time for a
task, Twisted could technically handle multiple ones in a limiting fashion
using their system of callbacks and defers. Anyway, just a thought, I
wanted to see what people thought about it.
