Software Tools

Programming Web servers with SFS’s libasync might seem at first seem onerous, mainly because it is. As a result, the OKWS team has been developing several generic libasync tools to help programmers. The first is a Python interface to the SFS core and RPC libraries, and a similar integration into OKWS. For more information on how to install Python support, please see our directions for installing OKWS along with Python tools.

A new tool, that is entirely compatible with existing libasync-based code, is tame, which we urge you to read more about. It’s a simple C -level rewriter that makes your event code look more like threaded coded. I.e., you can make a sequence of serial blocking functions within one function body.
