Re: Standalone HTTP parser?

Does anyone know of a standalone module for parsing and generating HTTP messages? I'm looking for something that will take a string and return a convenient message object, and vice versa. All the Python HTTP parsing code I've seen is either intimately bound to the corresponding socket I/O operations (e.g. httplib, httplib2, BaseHTTPServer) and/or buried in somebody's framework (e.g. Twisted).

I want to write some HTTP servers/clients that do asynchronous I/O using my own engine (multitask), so I need a HTTP package that won't insist on doing the I/O for me.

Look at rfc822 or the email module - HTTP responses are in the same format, modulo the first line status. Requests too, though with a different format for the first line.
