It would be very nice indeed if Twisted had some sort of Service object you could easily use for spawning worker processes, along the lines of Ampoule, that would take care of all the platform-specific nonsense of setting up communication with subprocesses, spawning them, monitoring them, figuring out the right Python to spawn, the right environment variables to get sys.path correct, and other things, such as...

A tool like Ampoule really ought to set up logging as early as possible in its child, and handle the case where it's not getting set up on the parent side. The important thing to do is to make sure you have an errReceived callback that actually prints or logs the stderr it receives; there's likely a traceback in there which you may have missed if the process is just crashing. -glyph
