The Yarn Project

A Python/Twisted library for working with messages in many different formats and protocols. Depends on Python 2.3 and Twisted 1.3.

I gave a talk on Yarn at PyCon 2005. I've been told that audio will be available at some point (keep an eye on the PyCon 2005 TalkRecording wiki page). Ted Leung has notes on my talk. You can also download the slides in OpenOffice, PDF, or Flash.

Get the code

• Grab the latest from svn
• Tarball: Yarn 0.3-pre1 (preview of 0.3, minimally tested)

Examples

• simple-list.py, a minimal example from my talk at Pycon. This will grab the Planet Python RSS feed, search for messages containing "PyCon", and print the message titles (tip: changes the search to "-PyCon" to find messages that don't mention PyCon).
