[...] What is the purpose of `isLeaf'? It does not seem to be called ever, when I run your example. [...]

Oops. 'isLeaf' is a boolean attribute, not a function. [...]
Brian and Christopher, let me thank you both for your replies. I did not find a presentation in the manual (but I'm far from having read it all yet) about a tree organisation of resources. Brian's explanation is quite comprehensive, and in my opinion, should happily find its way into the current Twisted book. Is there someone listening, who is taking care of such things? We surely have good documentation material in Brian's reply! -------------------- I also found, by re-reading various saved messages from the list, that three of them were especially instructive about the nature and justification of TAPs, which are: 2003-02-14 07:42 -0500 Glyph Lefkowitz <glyph@twistedmatrix.com> 2003-02-11 15:17 -0500 Glyph Lefkowitz <glyph@twistedmatrix.com> 2003-02-11 01:35 -0500 Moshe Zadka <twisted@moshez.org> all having "In Defense of Taps (was Re: [Twisted-Python] where to begin)" for a Subject. Also likely interesting for users is: 2003-02-12 08:51 -0500 Glyph Lefkowitz <glyph@twistedmatrix.com> In all these messages, and surely others, there is documentation material that could be retrofitted in the Twisted manual (editing out some unwanted parts and maybe rephrasing others). Is there someone, taking care of the documentation, to whom I should direct a copy of the above (if needed)? -- François Pinard http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard
