Applications without borders.
Scatter is a collection of Python packages aimed at making development of distributed applications difficult and quite painful. We sincerely hope you become physically ill during the process.
The base Scatter repository is more or less a collection of glue modules which define conventions for how applications should interact. Scatter extensions are the implementations of these conventions which integrate key pieces of technology helpful to developers.
Official Extensions:
-
scatter-async -- Asynchronous job/task worker pool support.
-
scatter-threading -- Threading extensions for
scatter-async. -
scatter-multiprocessing -- Multiprocessing extensions for
scatter-async. -
scatter-gevent -- Gevent extensions for
scatter-async. -
scatter-eventlet -- Eventlet extensions for
scatter-async. -
scatter-zeromq -- ZeroMQ support.
Some testimonials of developers currently using Scatter to build applications.
"Helped me get my first startup off the ground. It's a mat with services on it that you can jump to." - Tom Smykowski "LOOKOUT! Arughharhgh" - Arnold Schwarzenegger
I've always felt that open source projects should have a section dedicated to complaints from the authors. An area where one can admit mistakes, discuss design decisions and groan about code smells. A place where you can complain out loud about your own code six months from now.
Let me get the pole out from the crawl space and let's wrestle.
- Too heavily class based. This is Python, not Java.
- Under serious, backwards compatibility breaking changes. Use at your own risk.
- See TODO.
- See TODO.
- See TODO.
- Fill out the TODO.
If you would like to contribute, simply fork the repository, push your changes and send me $20.
