Inklings: a tumblelog

The goal of Pykka is to provide easy to use concurrency abstractions for Python by using the actor model. Pykka provides an actor API with two different implementations:

• ThreadingActor is built on the Python Standard Library’s threading and Queue modules, and has no dependencies outside Python itself. It plays well together with non-actor threads.
• GeventActor is built on the gevent library. gevent is a coroutine-based Python networking library that uses greenlet to provide a high-level synchronous API on top of libevent event loop. It is generally faster, but doesn’t like playing with other threads.
