-    <b>Convert txtorcon to use txaio</b>

-    <p>

-    txtorcon is currently supports only Twisted users. Re-working txtorcon

-    to use the txaio library would allow users to choose between Twisted and

-    asyncio for the client code.

-    </p>

-

-    <p>

-    This would involve fairly extensive refactoring to txtorcon, as it

-    currently makes heavy use of @inlineCallbacks which doesn't work with

-    txaio. A prospective student should be very familiar with event-based

-    programming in general, and be familiar with one of Twisted or asyncio.

-    Likely Mentors: <i>meejah</i>

-    <br><br>

-    <p>

-    Currently txtorcon uses the built-in "unittest" module, as well as

-    Twisted's Deferred-respecting extensions on top. However, meejah has

-    found py.test's "fixture" approach to be much more powerful in other

-    situations.

-    </p>

-

-    <p>

-    This project would be to port at least part of txtorcon's test-suite to

-    use py.test style tests and fixtures and evaluate: are the tests easier

-    to read? are there fewer lines of code? If so, the rest of the suite

-    should be ported and txtorcon switched over to use py.test exclusively.

-    </p>

-

-    <p>

-    As some of txtorcon's tests aren't very well-written, this would take a

-    prospective student who is very strong in unit-testing knowledge. As

-    txtorcon is event-based, familiarity with that style of programming

-    (preferrably with Twisted) is ideal.
