Hello, World

Here is the "Hello, world" of event-driven network applications: the echo server!

#!/usr/bin/env python2.6
from diesel import Application, Service, until_eol

def hi_server(addr):
    while 1:
        inp = (yield until_eol())
        if inp.strip() == "quit":
            break
        yield "you said %s" % inp

app = Application()
app.add_service(Service(hi_server, 8013))
app.run()

Try it out by running the code above in one terminal and telnet localhost 8013 in another. Anything you type into the telnet session will be echoed back to you. If you type "quit" you will be disconnected.
