Oh... I've re-coded that part of my app. now, so it doesn't contain any references to Twisted anymore. However, I was aiming to build a scalable HTTP server, and tried using Twisted for the task. Whenever I started the thing from the main thread (as a separate thread), nothing happened. That is, I received no exceptions, but the HTTP server was not running... When executing the HTTP server as a separate app., things worked perfectly. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
