I'll be sure to check it out later.</div><div><br></div><div>In the past, projects that begin with the name 'twisted <something>' have occasionally confused users, though, as the projects inside Twisted itself are called 'twisted <something>'. A while ago, we started promoting the prefix 'tx' (see <<a href="https://launchpad.net/tx" target="_blank">https://launchpad.net/tx</a>>) to mean "twisted extension", i.e. "this works with twisted, gets along well with Twisted", sort of like "py" is for "python".</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'm not a lawyer, but my vague understanding is that if you honor this request, it will make things easier for the Twisted project to secure trademark rights later on. So, I hope that you will consider re-naming "twistedsim" to something else (might I suggest "txnetsim"?) so that it's easier for users to keep this straight.</div>

<br></blockquote></div><br>Thank you for advice and suggestion Gylph, The point is that twistedSim in not restricted only to Twisted Framework (I.e. It can run with any event-based network application), Its true that TwistedSim give a special attention to Twisted (and thats
where the current name came from), however renaming it to start with tx would be unfair as this will mean that it simulates only Twisted Framework. <br>I respect your intentions about adapting to standards and not to confuse users, I will change in hopefully in the next major update the name to something other than TwistedSim but it will probably something new that doesn't restrict it as a Twisted extension (i.e. won't start with tx). <br>
