You can use this class to interoperate with the Python asyncio reactor and Twisted:

 https://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/api/twisted.internet.asyncioreactor.html

So you can do something like:

import asyncio
from twisted.internet import asyncioreactor, reactor
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()

asyncioreactor.install(eventloop=loop)
reactor.run()

Here is a fancy example which uses Python asyncio, uvloop, and twisted.web combined:

Sure, syntactically it seems pretty close to gravy.

But I'm wondering about flow control: if a project like kademlia is using the ayncio event loop, is it still practical to use twisted?

Twisted 17.5.0 has new code to interoperate between Python's asyncio and "async def":

One example of where this is used is in Klein, a web microframework built on top of Twisted:

https://klein.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/await.html 

Also, over 93% of Twisted's tests pass on Python 3:

So I think that it is quite possible to look at using Twisted in a project which is using Python asyncio.

Hey friends.

I'm in a position that is probably increasingly common.  I'm working on a project that has a dependency that uses asyncio (kademlia). 

However, I much prefer to use Twisted.

What's are some best practices for this at the moment?
