History

This package was earlier hosted at Google Code. That location is considered deprecated and unmaintained due to Google discontinuing the Google Code service in 2015.

Historically, the release numbering followed that of beanstalkd:

Keith Rarick, the lead for beanstalkd and beanstalk proto development, has stated that the protocol is likely to change until 1.0. If this is the case, then this client will likely change just as much, tracking the changes to the protocol. To keep confusion minimal, the version numbering of this client will track the versioning of the server.

The versions will follow a Major.Minor.Release-extra pattern, with major and minor being those of the latest beanstalkd server this client can communicate with.

So for example pybeanstalk 0.9.0 would correlate with beanstalkd version 0.9.

Finally, here's an old TODO list copied over from google code:

The big things:

• Twisted Client
• Simple mainloop layer
• docs

The little things:

• more / better unit testing
• more / better usage examples
• api review
• PyPI release
• eggify it
• .dpkg it
• .rpm it
