Evennia MUD/MU* Creation System 
Evennia is a modern library for creating online multiplayer text games (MUD, MUSH, MUX, MUCK, MOO etc) in pure Python. It allows game creators to design and flesh out their ideas with great freedom.
Evennia does not impose a particular style, genre or game mechanic. Instead it solves the boring networking and provides a framework for you to build the game you want. Coding in Evennia is done using normal Python modules imported into the server at runtime. All library code is heavily documented. Evennia has extensive manuals and tutorials as well as a very active support community!
Installation
pip install evennia
evennia --init mygame
cd mygame
evennia migrate
evennia start / stop / reload
Next, browse to http://localhost:4001 or telnet to localhost port 4000 to see your working (if empty) game!

Current Status
The codebase is currently in Beta. While development continues, Evennia is already stable enough to be suitable for prototyping and development of your own games.
Where to go from here
If this piqued your interest, there is a lengthier introduction to read.
To learn how to get your hands on the code base, the Getting started page is the way to go. Otherwise you could browse the Documentation or why not come join the Evennia Community forum or join us in our development chat. Welcome!
