Wow, I feel like an idiot now!  I never thought to test that.  Thank you so much!

Is there any reason DNS would work in a standalone python app and when I embed the library via the C API dns stops working?  Is there a library I should import to fix that?

from twisted.internet import reactor
from twisted.web.client import downloadPage

def fetchRepo():
      global gameType, gameName, setupComplete, cp
      if (setupComplete):
              url = urlbase + "/" + gameType + "/" + gameName +
"/repo.ini"
              print "url is : " + url
              d = downloadPage(url, "C:\\svntest\\gamerepo.ini")
              d.addCallback(downloadSuccess)
              d.addErrback(downloadFailure)
              #cp.readfp(open("C:\\game-repo.ini"))
      else:
              print "urls not setup, throw errors etc."
...

This is an example of how we have been using downloadPage from
twisted.web.client.  I have no problems getting the example to work when I
make a simple app or write the code into the intrepeter.  But if I use it
inside my app I get the user timeout below.

Unhandled error in Deferred:
Traceback (most recent call last):
Failure: twisted.internet.error.TimeoutError: User timeout caused connection
failure.


Am I forgetting something trivial?  The reactor is running as we use PB for
database pooling.  Can I not call downloadPage after a reactor is setup and
connected?

Calling downloadPage after reactor.run is fine.  I'd take a look at DNS and
firewall settings for problems there.
