spawnProcess may remain a useful primitive for something higher-level, or it might be replaced, but there has been some discussion of what that might be for quite some time: https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/2415 <https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/2415> Getting some new momentum on that ticket would be good. -g
