This is the seventh part of the Twisted tutorial Twisted from Scratch, or The Evolution of Finger .
In this part, we add a Perspective Broker service to the finger application so that Twisted clients can access the finger server. Perspective Broker is introduced in depth in its own section of the core howto index.
We add support for perspective broker, Twisted’s native remote object protocol. Now, Twisted clients will not have to go through XML-RPCish contortions to get information about users.
# Do everything properly, and componentize
