Python seemed like the right choice for writing a peer-to-peer
application, as the support for sockets is adequate and the cross-
platform ability is nominal. That's why I searched around for P2P
frameworks in Python, and didn't have much luck.

I've had this problem too.

Like I said, I didn't know anything about P2P before this, and I'm
sure much of what I've done so far can be improved upon. That's why
I'm posting here. I'd like to make an open request to anyone who
would like to assist me in the application development to reduce the
resource usage and improve the overall network efficiency. Even
simple "Ah, I saw you were doing this in your code, I recommend you
do this..." would be of great help.

Well, I have about the same level of experience that you do, but I'll
take a look at the code and see if I can offer assistance.

If you are interested, you may view the Google Code page at http://code.google.com/p/kaishi/
or checkout the SVN repository directly using http://kaishi.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/

I haven't read the code itself yet, but I'm extremely interested in
the project. I'm a fairly experienced Pythonista, yet I've never
really worked on networked projects in any programming language
before. Not only does it interest me, but it's a good way to expand
my knowledge base.

I have proper hosting and can set up a specific website for
collaboration on project ideas and such if support is carried after
this message. I thank anyone who has taken their time to read this.

I would be interested in collaborating in a project like this, I
think. Feel free to email me privately to talk further if you wish.
