This seems to come up fairly often. Try searching the list for "synchronous" , "blocking", "threading", etc. Dave Cook

See the threads how-to on the twisted website. On Apr 6, 2005, at 9:33 AM, Xif wrote:

Is there a simple tutorial/howto that explains how exactly this is done?

I'm new to both Twisted and Nevow, and I'm mainly a web developer with very little undestanding of what "threads" and "deferreds" are.

Hello everyone

I have a library of Python scripts that I need to use with my upcoming web-application.

Unfortunately, those scripts block; for example, some of the objects I need to construct take several seconds each to return an instance from __init__().

How can I still use that code inside Nevow?

(Using a different web server instead of Twisted's is definitely an option, if it doesn't entail any significant disadvantages.)
