From the website: The Toolserver Framework for Python is a framework for simple building of webservices. This is not Twisted - that one is much larger and much richer in features. If you need a full fledged webservice or internet protocol platform, you better go with Twisted. But if you need a lean and mean webservice machine, the Toolserver Framework for Python might be the right tool for the job. Author: Georg Bauer WWW: http://pyds.muensterland.org/wiki/toolserver.html
