If that's the case, then the answer is "sort of" but I think you might have misunderstood Twisted a bit. The entire point is to have non-blocking APIs, not to want a blocking API.

That sounds like might be the case case. Wwhat I'm looking for, then, is a way to use the IRCClient protocol outside of Twisted - in a way where I can use it like:

connection = # something using IRCClient
msg = connection.privmsg() # blocks
assert msg == "andreyf: hello there, lovely IRC users!"

Are there any projects along those lines?
