<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi Cory,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>You're probably very right; I'm sure I am confused. I'm only the Tech who installs this once to make sure it will in Win2K and is compatible with our Network. What you described, though, does sound like what the folks here were looking for. I've cc'd the primary user here so he'll know if I've gotten the correct software downloaded.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks a lot for the info and for your time and trouble.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Cheers!</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>I think you might be a little confused; Twisted's primary purpose is as an</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>application development framework. The installer you downloaded installs</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>tools and libraries for developing applications in Python. Although there are some features that can be used standalone (twistd -f web.tap comes to mind), it is not an application unto itself and these tools are secondary to the purpose of Twisted which is as a developers' resource.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>As such, any minimum disk requirements would be only for the toolkit, not</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>including Python (which is required). Minimum processor specs and memory</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>requirements are meaningless outside of the context of an application.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>That said:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>* the installer you downloaded requires 65MB of disk space including the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>documentation which takes up most of the space. There is another installer at</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>the same site that does not install doco, and requires 12MB installed.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>* Any support you get for any operating systems would be on a contract basis</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>with the developers, as this is an open source project. However, Linux, Mac</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>OS X 10.2 and 10.3 and Windows 98 and later are all known to work with</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Twisted, as well as various flavors of Unix. Basically, anywhere Python runs</FONT>
