Pants

Pants is a lightweight framework for writing asynchronous network applications in Python. Pants is simple, fast and very good-looking.

Pants is available under the [Apache License, Version 2.0] (http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html)

Install

Pants can be installed using pip:

pip install pants

You can also grab the latest code from the git repository:

git clone git://github.com/ecdavis/pants

Pants requires Python 2.6+ - Python 3 is not yet supported.

Community

Pants has a small but active community of developers who congregate in the IRC channel #pantsmud on irc.freenode.net.

Examples

Here's an absurdly simple example - Hello World:

from pants import engine, Server, Stream

class Hello(Stream):
    def on_connect(self):
        self.write("Hello, World!\r\n")
        self.close()

Server(Hello).listen()
engine.start()

Want a stupidly fast web server? Got you covered:

from pants import engine
from pants.web import Application, HTTPServer

app = Application()

@app.route('/')
def hello(request):
    return "Hello, World!"

HTTPServer(app).listen()
engine.start()
