I've search a little bit on net about urllib library in python 2.7, due to my friend's tip and because I've already used for a while. Well, what I really wanna know is about indications. Supposing I desire to create a application that is going to be used in a specific device that communicates with another device with same application, e.g A message application, or even a virtual simple game (using only the network), what are the possible libraries I can use? If some of you've already used anything to build a similar application, please, I'll appreciate your knowledge.
It sounds like you want to develop an application specific protocol which is different than HTTP.
HTTP is carried over TCP and Python connects to TCP transports with the standard socket module. There is a small overview of the use of sockets in the Python standard documentation.
The most important part of your new protocol is ensuring each side knows when the other side has sent a complete message. This can be very simple (each message ends with a newline) to as complex as you need.

We developed an AI assisted work product using Python and ruby.
For data security reasons, the customer requires the code to be installed on his server.
What technical solutions can we use to ensure easy deployment and no leakage of our code, or use open source encryption system? Or use a service of AWS?
Putting aside the legal aspects, from a technical perspective, there is no way to prevent the user from reverse engineering your code with enough time, as ultimately it is running on their server.
If you have anything that shouldn't ever be leaked, put the logic behind a secured API, which the local application can call - that can use AWS API Gateway if you wish to do so.
If the code cannot be deployed inside an API, you can obfuscate the code using solutions found online but you will only make it harder, not impossible.

I am designing a desktop application using Python.
I am facing a problem in choosing the most appropriate database, the program works online and offline.
In the case of offline, there is no problem because I find SQLite very suitable, but the problem is when the program works online, in this case I need to put the database on the cloud so that it is easy to deal with and access it from anywhere.
My question here is what is the best solution to this problem? Is there a database that can be embedded with the program for local use and at the same time it can be used as a server on the cloud?
Thanks in advance
Well, I can say that You can use PouchDB as client side Work and for data sync on user side any database suitable which is use CouchDB sync protocol.
I also worked with postgreSQL and kinto.js but it's not as user friendly as PochDB.

Is there any production ready open source twitter clones written in Ruby or Python ?
I am more interested in feature rich implementations, not just bare bones twitter like messages (e.g.: APIs, FBconnect, Notifications, etc)
Thanks !
I know of twissandra which is an open source clone. Of course I doubt it meets your need of feature rich implementations.
http://github.com/rnielsen/twetter
From their readme:
Twetter is an implementation of the twitter.com API, designed for use in situations where internet access is not available but a large number of people have twitter clients and want to tell each other what they are doing, for example a RailsCamp, where it was first developed.
The current goal is to have it work with as many third party twitter clients as possible. It has currently been tested with Twitterific, TwitterFox, and Spaz on OSX.
The following open source alternative to twitter : http://identi.ca/ is written using the the software http://status.net/ . It looks like it is written in PHP too.
Also there is http://code.google.com/p/jaikuengine/ which is a microblogging platform for google app engine. This should serve as an example for python implementation.
Also look at http://www.typepad.com/go/motion/
Found two relevant projects:
http://github.com/insoshi/insoshi
http://github.com/dmitryame/echowaves/wiki
Sadly both appear discontinued

I'm looking for a library that can help me build a good XMLRPC server in Python that could run on Windows. The SimpleXMLRPCServer class looks fine but I don't know if it will suit all my needs, since I'd like to be able to connect from multiple clients at the same time. I found this on GitHub, but I don't know if it'll work.
Any suggestions/ideas?
I like CherryPy for XMLRPC using the built-in tool/dispatcher, and it runs on Windows as far as I know.
But you really need to ask yourself why you want to do RPC vs. a RESTful service in 2010. XMLRPC is very limited in the variable types allowed, and adds significant encapsulation overhead, and requires a client that can talk XMLRPC.
I also like CheeyPy, but have also used Twisted for such needs. Pretty simple to use and Twisted has defereds and helper functions like deferToThread and callLater to allow for blocking code to act in a non-blocking fashion.
Take a look at http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/web/howto/xmlrpc.html for a simple example.
I like to use circuits for stuff like this (but it's not for everyone). There's a simple example in the examples/web/ directory in the source repository.

Just wondering if there is a Python MTA. I took a look at smtpd but they all look like forwarders without any functionality.
Yes, Twisted includes a framework for building SMTP servers. There's a simple Twisted-based email server available here (also see here for some information about its development).
If you want something closer to a mail application server, there's Lamson.
If you're looking for a full MTA solution you should check out http://slimta.org/ or as previously mentioned here http://lamsonproject.org
I myself has experimented a bit with slimta and it seems to work well.
It's pretty new, so nothing like the maturity of Twisted's SMTP, but there's also Lamson.
Blackhole is an MTA (message transfer agent) that (figuratively) pipes all mail to /dev/null, built on top of asyncio and utilises async def and await statements available in Python 3.5.
While Blackhole is an MTA, none of the actions performed via SMTP or SMTPS are actually processed, and no email is delivered. You can tell Blackhole how to handle mail that it receives. It can accept all of it, bounce it all, or randomly do either of those two actions.
Think of Blackhole sort of like a honeypot in terms of how it handles mail, but it’s specifically designed with testing in mind.
