peerz

P2P python library using ZeroMQ sockets and gevent

|build_status|

Overview

peerz is an experiment in using zeromq bindings to implement a structured peer-to-peer overlay network in python. The peer management and routing logic are heavily based on existing structured overlay networks such as kademlia and tapestry.

Note: peerz is still in its early stages of development and as such no stable releases are yet available.

Goals

The goal of peerz is to provide a p2p library in python capable of:

• Efficient routing in networks ranging from small LAN deployments to Internet scale
• Locality awareness of resources
• Scalable, fault tolerant and self-organising
• Abstraction of node discovery and management
• Simple generic API for which richer applications can be built on top of

Getting Started

Install using pip: ::

pip install peerz
