either because they themselves are not ready or because a
dependency isn't. This is annotated by
PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCOMPATIBLE= 33 # not yet ported as of x.y.z
or
PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCOMPATIBLE= 33 # py-foo, py-bar
respectively, please use the same style for other packages,
and check during updates.
Use versioned_dependencies.mk where applicable.
Use REPLACE_PYTHON instead of handcoded alternatives, where applicable.
Reorder Makefile sections into standard order, where applicable.
Remove PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCLUDE_3X lines since that will be default
with the next commit.
Whitespace cleanups and other nits corrected, where necessary.
Medusa is a 'server platform' -- it provides a framework for
implementing asynchronous socket-based servers (TCP/IP and on Unix,
Unix domain, sockets).
An asynchronous socket server is a server that can communicate with
many other clients simultaneously by multiplexing I/O within a
single process/thread. In the context of an HTTP server, this
means a single process can serve hundreds or even thousands of
clients, depending only on the operating system's configuration
and limitations.
Medusa includes HTTP, FTP, and 'monitor' (remote python interpreter)
servers. Medusa can simultaneously support several instances of
either the same or different server types - for example you could
start up two HTTP servers, an FTP server, and a monitor server.
Then you could connect to the monitor server to control and manipulate
medusa while it is running.
