Groupkit and python

[jose.r.pacheco]

Hi,
I've built an app using this great software called groupkit
(http://www.groupkit.org/) based on tcl/tk language, now I'd like to
test python possibilities for groupware. Anyone knows about this, I
have made a google search; crossing groupkit and python, but I haven´t
found any project except this one called twisted-python. Do you
believe twisted-python could be a substitute for groupkit?.

thx,
jrpm

As I *think* it hasn't appeared in comp.lang.python, I reproduce here
remarks by the Groupkit author in (no longer) private e-mail:

Twisted offers more of a low-level equivalent to the
event-driven IO that comes standard in Tcl, plus many
higher level network protocols on top of that. It
doesn't offer a focus on groupware application level
constructs like session management, awareness, etc.,
nor am I aware of anything in Python that tries to
tackle this niche. If someone were wanting to move
GroupKit-like features to Python, twisted would be the
best framework to build upon, but as is, it's missing
things you'd probably like from GroupKit.
