Hi thanks for the reply, I have a separate module that doesn't/shouldn't depend on Twisted, and this module is begin called from a Twisted application, and it needs to spawn a thread the thread doesn't call anything within Twisted, the problem is when I call start() the thread doesn't run, but If I import Twisted into this module and spawn the thread from reactor.callLater() it works just fine, that is, this code works :
#from twisted.internet import reactor #reactor.callLater(1, threading.Thread(target=_listen, args=(self._client,)).start) But this doesn't: #threading.Thread(target=_listen, args=(self._client,)).start() I asked on #twisted and someone said that something about my application running as daemon and that destroys all threads spawned before that, and that I should spawn the thread *after* it's fully daemonized. I haven't tested that yet but I will now.
