the console reader sends lines of text (URLs) the user enters to...

the HTTP client, which fetches the associated page. It then forwards on the page data to...



the file writer, which appends all messages it's sent to a file on disk.

Kamaelia is an intuitive way to structure applications -- as a network of components which message each other. Much like Unix pipes implemented in Python. It was originally designed by BBC Research for rapid development of server software.Here's a taster of what a Kamaelia application looks like: (built with the GUI)And here's some equivalent Python code:Those 5 lines of Python give you a console-based HTTP downloading program (like wget or curl but with less options) using existing components.It's as simple as that.Version 0.5.0 is a major release - lots of functionality has been added from Google Summer of Code 2006. Key highlights of this release:For more information see the Kamaelia website . You can get a copy of Kamaelia and Axon from Sourceforge, together with most of the dependencies in the mega bundle . If you have any problems or questions, just pop along to #kamaelia on. No Python experience is needed to get started!
