Medusa

Medusa: A High-Performance Internet Server Architecture

Medusa is an architecture for very-high-performance TCP/IP servers (like HTTP, FTP, and NNTP). Medusa is different from most other servers because it runs as a single process, multiplexing I/O with its various client and server connections within a single process/thread.

Medusa is written in Python, a high-level object-oriented language that is particularly well suited to building powerful, extensible servers. Medusa can be extended and modified at run-time, even by the end-user. User 'scripts' can be used to completely change the behavior of the server, and even add in completely new server types.
