I've got a new release of Hep available at
http://www.fettig.net/projects/hep/. For those unfamiliar with it, Hep
is a mutliprotocol message server. It provides a proxy/translation
layer between email and the web, so you can read RSS feeds and write
weblog posts from the comfort of your favorite mail client (using either
POP3 or IMAP).
I'm also releasing a new library called Yarn
(http://www.fettig.net/projects/yarn/), a seperate package containing
all the messaging-system-abstraction bits that used to be in Hep. Yarn
lets you work with RSS and Atom feeds, weblogs, Maildir directories,
etc., using a common Folder/Message API. It supports authentication,
sharing connections between users, and tracking metadata between
sessions. It's fully unicode-aware. It uses plugins to make it easy to
add support for new protocols and file formats.
Yarn is a little short on docs at the moment, but if you're feeling
curious there's some code in the examples/ directory that will get you
started. I'll have some tutorials up on my website soon, though.
Both Hep and Yarn make heavy use of Twisted (even mktap/twistd). Many
thanks to the Twisted team, especially exarkun for his work on IMAP -
I'm so glad I didn't have to write that code myself!
