The FriendFeed application is written using a web framework that looks a bit like web.py or Google's webapp, but with additional tools and optimizations to take advantage of the underlying non-blocking infrastructure.
The framework is distinct from most mainstream web server frameworks because it is non-blocking and very fast, built so to handle FriendFeed's real-time updating features.
Requirements:
· Python 2.5, 2.6 and 3.2
· PycURL
· Python's simplejson module
