The Evolution of Finger: a web frontend

  1. Introduction

Introduction

This is the sixth part of the Twisted tutorial Twisted from Scratch, or The Evolution of Finger.

In this part, we demonstrate adding a web frontend using simple twisted.web.resource.Resource objects: UserStatusTree, which will produce a listing of all users at the base URL (/) of our site; UserStatus, which gives the status of each user at the location /username; and UserStatusXR, which exposes an XMLRPC interface to getUser and getUsers functions at the URL /RPC2.

In this example we construct HTML segments manually. If the web interface was less trivial, we would want to use more sophisticated web templating and design our system so that HTML rendering and logic were clearly separated.
