Simple requests sequentialiser?

[Dominique de Waleffe]

I have a need to have a simple multithreaded sort of proxy wich listens
to a given port and for each client session,
sends the requests to a single server (mono thread and listening on one
single port) that sits behind and returns the answers to the appropriate
client.

I confess that I have spent very little time on finding a solution to
this yet. I have a feeling that this should be a piec of cake for
python possibly with twisted or even without it....

Is there anyone that can give me a pointer to an example or to a
specific place in the voluminous documentation of python and tools for
such a thing....

Thansk,
D.

You should investigate into twisted - it is _really_ worth the effort, and
not so complicated at all.

BTW, there is no need for multiple threads - usually, several network
connections can be processed by one thread/process. As long as you don't
plan to server thousands of requests per second....
