Python Actor concurrency library

Project description

Thespian is a Python library providing a framework for developing concurrent, distributed, fault tolerant applications.

Thespian is built on the Actor Model which allows applications to be written as a group of independently executing but cooperating “Actors” which communicate via messages. These Actors run within the Actor System provided by the Thespian library.

  • Concurrent

  • Distributed

  • Fault Tolerant

  • Scalable

  • Location independent

Actor programming is broadly applicable and it is ideally suited for Cloud-based applications as well, where compute nodes are added and removed from the environment dynamically.
