As a result you don't need to use the trial command-line tool, you can use any Python test runner that knows about Python's TestCase; just make sure to subclass twisted.trial.unittest.TestCase, and your test will support running the reactor for you when you return a Deferred. Or, if possible, you can avoid using the reactor at all; some approaches (as mentioned by Jean-Paul) are described in the trial documentation: http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/core/howto/trial.html -- Itamar Turner-Trauring, Future Foundries LLC http://futurefoundries.com/ — Twisted consulting, training and support.
