Medusa is a framework for writing asynchronous socket-based servers. It was originally written by Sam Rushing, and the original Medusa home page is still available. However, no new releases have been made in about a year.

I've therefore taken the original Medusa package, and reformatted the code, removed various outdated modules, ran PyChecker over it, wrote a Distutils script, and made a new maintenance release of Medusa. Consult the CHANGES.txt file in the distribution for a more complete list of changes; no serious changes to the core code were made, only to the accompanying packaging and example scripts.

Current version: 0.5.4 (released September 3 2003)

Mailing List

Discussion of the Medusa framework takes place on the medusa-dev mailing list.
