Are there any Python 2.7 alternatives to ZeroMQ that are released under the BSD or MIT license?
I am seeking Python 2.7 alternatives to ZeroMQ that are released under the BSD or MIT license. I am looking for something that supports request-reply and pub-sub messaging patterns. I can serialize the data myself if necessary. I found Twisted from Twisted Matrix Labs but it appears to require a blocking event loop, i.e. reactor.run(). I need a library that will run in the background and let my application check messages upon certain events. Are there any other alternatives?
