Twisted and p2p applications

Question

Can you tell me: could I use twisted for p2p-applications creating? And what protocols should I choose for this?

Answer 1

The best solution is to use the source code for BitTorrent. It was built with Twisted until they switched over to a C++ implementation called Utorrent.

• Last known Twisted version of BitTorrent
  • http://download.bittorrent.com/dl/archive/BitTorrent-5.2.2.tar.gz
• Older versions
  • http://download.bittorrent.com/dl/archive/

As an alternative, you also might want to take a look at Vertex.

It is a p2p library built on top of Twisted and comes with goodies like bypassing firewalls.

Its probably more complete than the other people's sample.
