Here it is:
import sys
from twisted.internet import reactor, defer, task
from twisted.web.template import flatten
def output(stuff):
sys.stdout.write(stuff.decode())
def sync(reactor):
return flatten(None, [defer.succeed(str(i)+'\n') for i in range(1000)],
output)
task.react(sync)
It fails after printing 197 lines. The same sort of thing using deferLater
instead of defer.succeed printed 1000 without error.
