  Any other details out there about it, since the site is down?

      PS: I was just being an ass with that last comment, quick google surfaced this though: http://code.google.com/p/magnum-py/ http://code.google.com/p/magnum-py/

        Thanks! It does appear to be back up, now.

  I am intrigued by one point - Tornado doesn't work on Windows, and Magnum specifically cites Linux as a requirement. What is it about these servers that makes them unfeasible or just currently unworkable in CPython in Windows?

    They both use epoll directly. Windows uses I/O completion ports for scalable polling.

  I'm really loving these event-driven servers. If you'd prefer using Javascript, there's also Node (http://nodejs.org/ http://nodejs.org/) which is a similar effort.
