circuits is a **Lightweight** **Event** driven and **Asynchronous**
**Application Framework** for the `Python Programming Language`_
with a strong **Component** Architecture.

circuits also includes a lightweight, high performance and scalable
HTTP/WSGI compliant web server as well as various I/O and Networking
components.

Examples

Hello

    class hello(Event):
        """hello Event"""

        def started(self, component):
            """Started Event Handler

            This is fired internally when your application starts up and can be used to
            trigger events that only occur once during startup.

            self.fire(hello())  # Fire hello Event

            raise SystemExit(0)  # Terminate the Application

    App().run()


Echo Server
...........


.. code:: python

    #!/usr/bin/env python

    """Simple TCP Echo Server

    This example shows how you can create a simple TCP Server (an Echo Service)
    utilizing the builtin Socket Components that the circuits library ships with.

            ..note :: By simply returning, client/server socket components listen
                      to ValueChagned events (feedback) to determine if a handler
                      returned some data and fires a subsequent Write event with
                      the value returned.

Hello Web

    class Root(Controller):

        def index(self):
            """Index Request Handler

            Controller(s) expose implicitly methods as request handlers.

Features
--------

- event driven
- concurrency support
- component architecture
- asynchronous I/O components
- no required external dependencies
- full featured web framework (circuits.web)
- coroutine based synchronization primitives


Requirements
------------

- circuits has no dependencies beyond the `Python Standard Library`_.


Supported Platforms
-------------------

- Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, Windows
- Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.2, 3.3
- pypy 2.0, 2.1, 2.2


Installation
------------

The simplest and recommended way to install circuits is with pip.
You may install the latest stable release from PyPI with pip::

    > pip install circuits

If you do not have pip, you may use easy_install::

    > easy_install circuits

Alternatively, you may download the source package from the
`PyPi Page`_ or the `Downloads Page`_ extract it and install using::

    > python setup.py install


You can also install th
`latest-development version <https://bitbucket.org/circuits/circuits-dev/get/tip.tar.gz#egg=circuits-dev>`_ using pip with ``pip install circuits==dev``.
