Why? This isn't the typical way to write unit tests for Twisted-based code. The reactor is started and stopped by trial as necessary. Your code should just expect that it is running and let trial stop it when it is time to stop. If you have asynchronous code to test, you return a Deferred from a test method and the test completes when the Deferred fires. Not when the reactor stops. Also, a lot of people have come to dislike this style of test, instead preferring to use test doubles that don't involve real I/O or time so that they can completely test the logic of their code deterministically - thus also without ever running a real reactor or needing to use the "return a Deferred from a test method" feature of trial.
