184: Twisted and Testing Event Driven / Asynchronous Applications - Glyph
Twisted has been supporting asynchronous / event driven applications way before asyncio. Twisted, and Glyph, have also been encouraging automated tests for a very long time.
Twisted uses a technique that should be usable by other applications, even those using asyncio or other event driven architectures.

Help support the show AND learn pytest:
- The Complete pytest course is now a bundle, with each part available separately.
- pytest Primary Power teaches the super powers of pytest that you need to learn to use pytest effectively.
- Using pytest with Projects has lots of "when you need it" sections like debugging failed tests, mocking, testing strategy, and CI
- Then pytest Booster Rockets can help with advanced parametrization and building plugins.
- Whether you need to get started with pytest today, or want to power up your pytest skills, PythonTest has a course for you.

Glyph
Although most well-known for being the founder of the Twisted project, Glyph has also worked on massively multiplayer online games, dynamic web applications, enterprise information management software, and created or contributed to dozens of open source projects, mostly related to infrastructure. He’s also a prolific public speaker, mostly about software, also occasionally about ethics. He has run Python programs, and written Python programs to be run, on mainframes, on custom-built embedded devices, and just about everything in between.
