And while you're about it, I'm looking for a library with an identical 
specification under Python. Being event-based would suggest twisted as 
being a good base (as well as having TLS etc on-hand), although I 
haven't found a good library yet (yes, I know about Khashmir [1], but 
that's just a DHT, and I need a routing/messaging interface).

I've had several attempts with Kenosis [2] to get it working, but only 
been able to get it running once under a version of python on one of my 
machines, let alone getting round to doing any development. This is a 
shame, since one of its goals on the website is to 'Just Work'.

If I can't find a suitable library, I'll write my own, but would 
appreciate any suggestions of standards to use (or other language 
libraries to port) to make it cross-library and cross-platform compatible.


Best wishes,
Jeremy
