Hi!  I'm the main author of Vertex.

As far as I know, there's nothing really similar to Vertex, especially =

not for Twisted.  I'm really glad you're looking at it though!  As =

you've noticed, it's got some bugs, and it needs maintenance.  However, =

to sustain maintenance there has to be some interest, and with bugs it's =

difficult to attract interest ;-).

Vertex is a very interesting proof of concept though, and a lot of work =

has gone into it; it wouldn't be a huge amount of work to turn it into =

something really robust (and awesome).  In any event, it would be a lot =

less work than doing it over from scratch :).

A few other users have reported issues with Windows.  Is it this? =

Can you be a bit more specific?  Is there a traceback?  Is there an =

exception?  Please provide as much information as possible.  You may =

want to sign up for the divmod-dev list, which might be more appropriate =

for discussing Vertex.  On the other hand Twisted users might be =

interested in hearing about semi-transparent NAT traversal and federated =

authentication...
