I WILL NOT DRINK THE KOOL AID

Last night, in #twisted...

[20:55] pfein: slightly OT: any suggestions on a non-Twisted packaged that provides similar functionality to twisted.manhole?
[21:04] dash: input()
[21:04] dash: it's a builtin
[21:05] * pfein smacks head
[21:06] * pfein smacks dash
[21:06] dash: pfein: what
[21:06] dash: how's that not what you wanted
[21:07] pfein: My small intestine just leapt up & strangled my brain in a mercy killing.
[21:08] dash: woot
[21:09] pfein: dash: have you ever used manhole?
[21:10] dash: yes, in fact.
[21:11] pfein: so how in Guido's sweet name could you possibly think I'm looking for input() ?
[21:12] dash: pfein: well first i'm trying to understand why you aren't using twisted
[21:12] pfein: wow, that took a whole 8 minutes, I was totally expecting less.
[21:12] dash: all i can guess is that you are writing a program that doesn't do network communication
[21:13] dash: so input() seemed ok
[21:13] pfein: dash: *maybe, just MAYBE* I'm writing a nework program that doesn't use Twisted
[21:14] dash: what an outlandish concept
[21:15] radix: maybe the allegra guy has something
[21:15] radix: you should talk to him.
[21:16] Jerub: there's something in wsgi
[21:16] pfein: Jerub: the turbogears ajax thing?
[21:16] Jerub: pfein: gosh, I dunno.
[21:16] Jerub: I'd just use manhole.
[21:18] * pfein just kills himself.
