Based on my reading/searching, multiple reactors in the same process (even in multiple threads) is pretty much a no-go because twisted.internet.reactor is a global singleton.
I'm also unable to find any information about connecting to self (for example, to send messages from one reactor to itself). The situation I find myself in is that of message-passing between a data-access component of a process (separate thread) and a GUI component. In this case, something like blinker works fine. However I want to replace blinker with twisted message-passing, because I want the data-access component to be accessible by different GUI components, either on the same machine or from a different machine. Or from the same process (default behaviour). If I'm able to somehow either run multiple reactors or connect-to-self, then I only need to maintain one API (a twisted API) for this communication, which would be identical between the one-process, multi-process, and multi-machine case. As an aside - I want to avoid restricting myself to a multi-process implementation as that would mean I can't write for iOs (no multi-processing allowed). _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
