Anyone know of a good python or java implementation of Kademila DHT that this is based on?

Edit:

Found a list:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kademlia#Implementations

Would still like to hear your impressions if you have used any of them.

I've played around with openkad [1], but never got far enough to create anything meaningful with it. The authors implemented multiple distance metrics for more efficient lookup and distribution; these are described in [2].

TomP2P is mature enough to run in an closed environment (easy network conditions). We are currently working on making it run (relaying, NAT, UPNP) stable in the Internet.

TomP2P is really great!
