Tcpserver and tcpclient are easy-to-use command-line tools for building TCP
client-server applications.

Tcpserver waits for incoming connections and, for each connection, runs a
program of your choice. Your program receives environment variables
showing the local and remote host names, IP addresses, and port numbers.

Tcpserver offers a concurrency limit to protect you from running out of
processes and memory. When you are handling 40 (by default) simultaneous
connections, tcpserver smoothly defers acceptance of new connections.

Tcpserver also provides TCP access control features, similar to
tcp-wrappers/tcpd's hosts.allow but much faster. It's access control rules
are compiled into a hashed format with cdb, so it can easily deal with
thousands of different hosts.

This package includes a recordio tool that monitors all the input and
output of a server.

Tcpclient makes a TCP connection and runs a program of your choice. It sets
up the same environment variables as tcpserver.

This package includes several sample clients built on top of tcpclient:
who@, date@, finger@, http@, tcpcat, and mconnect.

Tcpserver and tcpclient conform to UCSPI, the UNIX Client-Server Program
Interface, using the TCP protocol. UCSPI tools are available for several
different networks.

Dovecot is an IMAP and POP3 server for Linux and UNIX-like systems,
written primarily with security in mind. Although it is written in C,
it uses several coding techniques to avoid most of the common pitfalls.

Dovecot can work with standard mbox and maildir formats and is fully
compatible with UW-IMAP and Courier IMAP servers as well as mail
clients accessing the mailboxes directly.

The argparse module provides an easy, declarative interface for
creating command line tools, which knows how to:

* parse the arguments and flags from sys.argv
* convert arg strings into objects for your program
* format and print informative help messages
* and much more...

The argparse module improves on the standard library optparse module
in a number of ways including:

* handling positional arguments
* supporting sub-commands
* allowing alternative option prefixes like + and /
* handling zero-or-more and one-or-more style arguments
* producing more informative usage messages
* providing a much simpler interface for custom types and actions

The latest version of argparse, along with API documentation and
examples can be found at:

Celery is a distributed task queue. It was first created for Django, but is now usable from Python. It can also operate with
other languages via HTTP+JSON. It is used for executing tasks asynchronously, routed to one or more worker servers, running
concurrently using multiprocessing. It is designed to solve certain problems related to running websites demanding high-availability and performance.

It is perfect for filling caches, posting updates to twitter, mass downloading data like syndication feeds or web scraping. Use-cases are plentiful. Implementing these features asynchronously using celery is easy and fun, and the performance improvements can make it more than worthwhile.
