Free twisted software for linux

Twisted Web includes an HTTP/1.0 protocol implementation for both servers and clients. Twisted Web also includes a resource framework for implementing rich, dynamic web applications. It includes support for authentication either via HTTP AUTH, session URLs, or session cookies.
It supports CGIs and a custom PB-based distribution mechanism for serving content from separate, persistent processes. It includes SOAP and XML-RPC support for both clients and servers. It also makes it particularly easy to deploy new servers with novel or ephemeral use-cases, often with only a single short command.
Enhancements:
- This release adds HTTP Basic auth support for XML-RPC clients, and fixes several date, time, and If-Modified-Since header parsing corner-cases.
- Various performance improvements have been made, and support for CGIs broken in a few specific ways has been improved.

Twisted Names project is both a domain name server as well as a client resolver library.
Twisted Names comes with an "out of the box" nameserver which can read most BIND-syntax zone files as well as a simple Python-based configuration format.
Twisted Names can act as an authoritative server, perform zone transfers from a master to act as a secondary, act as a caching nameserver, or any combination of these.
Twisted Names client resolver library provides functions to query for all commonly used record types as well as a replacement for the blocking gethostbyname() function provided by the Python stdlib socket module.
Twisted Names is available under the MIT Free Software licence.
Enhancements:
- Errors in the markup used in API documentation have been fixed.
- A bug where the DNS client would sometimes drop a response has been fixed.
- A bug which prevented non-IN lookups from generating malformed queries has been fixed.

Twisted Conch project is an SSHv2 implementation written in Python. SSH is a protocol designed to allow remote access to shells and commands, but it is generic enough to allow everything from TCP forwarding to generic filesystem access.
Since conch is written in Python, it interfaces well with other Python projects, such as Imagination. Conch also includes a implementations of the telnet and vt102 protocols, as well as support for rudamentary line editing behaviors.
A new implementation of Twisteds Manhole application is also included, featuring server-side input history and interactive syntax coloring.
Conch is available under the MIT Free Software licence.
Enhancements:
- The in-memory terminal emulators "expect" functionality now supports timeouts.
- The SSH server and client are now approximately five times faster for bulk-data transfers.

Twisted Storage is an application that will take your data and manage it for you, just like a file system. But Twisted Storage goes way beyond what a normal file system does.
What types of "objects" are stored in Twisted Storage : just regular files. The data stored in the system is expected to be fixed content, meaning it doesnt change at all. If you read the data back, change it, and store it, it is considered a different file. There are plenty of examples of fixed content data : emails you received, movies or mp3 files you made or own, documents you wrote, etc. In fact it is estimated that 80% of the data you have on your computer is fixed, reference data.
Your Twisted Storage system can start out small - a single computer with a few disk drives. When you need more storage you can add more disk drives and more computers. But it has been designed to store petabytes worth of data without requiring any special hardware. For example storing a petabyte worth of data, using the biggest disk drives available today (500 GB), would require 2000 disk drives. To overcome the need of special hardware, Twisted Storage is a scalable, distributed system using ordinary commodity computers. Even so that petabyte of data would require 500 computers networked together and that requires special handling.
Twisted Storage has a few features you wont find in any file system. For example once a file is added to the Twisted Storage repository it can be written in multiple locations simultaneously. The system has been designed to be compliant with Sarbanes-Oxley Act: when an object is added to the repository you can no longer delete it and the integrity of the contents are guaranteed. In addition any access to the object is recorded.
Main features:
Scalable to thousands of servers and multiple petabytes of data.
- Regardless of how much data you want to store,Twisted Storage is designed to handle it. The system can grow from one computer and a few disks to hundreds of systems and thousands of disk drivers.
Automatic data recovery without human intervention.
- Twisted Storage doesnt require backup/restore software or procedures. All data written to the system is recorded in multiple locations.
No special disaster recover procedures.
- So long as you have your systems in physically different locations and you have instructed the software to write the multiple copies to those systems, you have no-hassle disaster recover. If one of the sites goes down, the system will retrieve any data from the other systems. Additionally, once the disaster site is up and running, the system will automatically restore the data to the it.
Simplified configuration.
- To ease management of the system, you can change any one systems configuration and have it ripple through out the system.

Kwotes is a chat quote database system with a twist.

The quotes are publicly moderated, so its up to you to maintain the quality. All quotes are accepted and if their ranking falls too low for too long, they are deleted.

Options.pm is a command-line option-parsing Perl module meant to imitate the syntax of the t.p.usage.Options module from the Twisted Python library.

This module will allow you to specify which options to look for on the command line, and supports both long and short versions of simple flags and parameters. If a required parameter is unspecified, Options.pm will print nicely formatted usage information with the error.

Itaka is an on-demand screen capture server.
Itaka is an on-demand screen capture server for Windows, Mac Os X and Linux. It is developed in Python, PyGTK and the Twisted Framework. It prominently features a polished easy to use interface, with a robust backend server.
Main features:
- Acts as an on-demand server (requests to your computer by a users web browser display an image of your screen to the user)
- Notification for the client, on the desktop and with style using Libnotify.
- Very polished GUI drawing elements from Mac OS X. Sample
- Multiple platform support (currently Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and any other plattform with Python/Twisted/GTK support)
