I do Spyne, and I think it's _fa-bu-lous_ for building any web API on top of twisted. It's a bit different from what you to with stock Twisted though. More specifically, there's no NOT_DONE_YET. The client hangs as long as you keep returning `Deferred`s. Once you return a non-deferred (and hopefully something that's compatible with your designated return type) that object is serialized using the `out_protocol` you pass to your `Application` and the resulting byte stream is written to the outgoing stream of your transport of choice. In case of a HTTP-based api, it's passed to the `transport.write()` function of a `twisted.web.Resource` instance, along with the outgoing headers that you set. As for the MySQL part, I use SQLAlchemy exclusively from inside a function called by deferToThread. Spyne integrates with SQLAlchemy as well, so you can return directly what SQLA returns, be it objects or rows. Here's a simple example: https://github.com/arskom/spyne/blob/master/examples/twisted/resource.py There's a boilerplate generator here: http://spyne.io/ I hope you find it useful. Any questions, peo...@spyne.io is also at your service. Best, Burak
