----------------------
Twisted's reactor and eventlet's hub are very similar in what they do.
Both continuously preform polling on the list of registered descriptors
Both continuously perform polling on the list of registered descriptors
and each time a specific event is fired, the associated callback function
is called. In addition, both maintain a list of scheduled calls.
Polling is performed by the main loop - a function that both reactor and hub have.
When twisted calls user's callback it's expected to return almost immediately,
without any blocking I/O calls. Deferreds help there.
without any blocking I/O calls.
Eventlet runs the main loop in a dedicated greenlet (MAIN_LOOP). It is the same
greenlet as MAIN if you use join_reactor. Otherwise it's a separate greenlet
