4. Technical Description:
    4.1. Details:

    Twisted is a popular, open-source networking engine written in Python
    and supporting numerous protocols.  It contains a web server, chat
    clients, chat servers, mail servers, and more.

    Twisted is made up of a number of related sub-projects.  This proposal
    integrates version 2.5.0 of the "Twisted Sumo" package which includes
    the following 10 main modules:
    Twisted Conch   SSH and SFTP protocol implementation.
    Twisted Core    Asynchronous event loop.
    Twisted Lore    Documentation generator with HTML and LaTeX support.
    Twisted Mail    SMTP, IMAP and POP protocol implementation.
    Twisted Names   DNS protocol implementation with client and server.
    Twisted News    NNTP protocol implementation with client and server.
    Twisted Runner  Process management, including an inetd server.
    Twisted Web HTTP protocol implementation with clients and servers.
    Twisted Words   Chat and Instant Messaging.

    4.2. Bug/RFE Number(s):

    None.

    4.3. In Scope:

    See above.

    4.4. Out of Scope:

    This proposal does not include any Twisted projects which are
    not included in the Twisted Sumo release (eg trial and
    unmaintained modules).

    4.6. Doc Impact:

    A manpage will be provided that links to the online documentation.

    4.7. Admin/Config Impact:

    None.

    4.8. HA Impact:

    None.

    4.9. I18N/L10N Impact:

    None.  Twisted is not internationalized.

    4.10. Packaging & Delivery:

    Adds new package, SUNWpython-twisted, approx 14 MB.
    Package will go into SUNWCall, SUNWCXall and SUNWCprog clusters.

    4.11. Security Impact:

    These libraries provide an infrastructure for network protocol handling in
    Python - issues w.r.t. security will be primarily addressed by the
    originating community and brought into Solaris as soon as possible.

    Also, while it is possible to use OpenSSL to encypt the network traffic,
    that facility is not available because the Python OpenSSL module is not
    currently available on Solaris, but should it be provided or installed
    Twisted will immediately be able to use it.


    4.12. Dependencies:

    Twisted depends on the Python Zope Interface, version 3.0.1
    or higher.  This will be proposed in a separate ARC case shortly.
