Re: [Twisted-Python] alternative to tac

Oct. 7, 2008

      Hi Vasil

I use something along the code below whoch serves dual purpose, use it 
with twistd -noy xxx.tac and also python xxx.tac.

I was undecided almost a year ago whether I should use config files too, 
but then found that the .tac files work great as config files too.

I mainly develop on MSW XP and Vista and routinely deploy to OpenBSD.

HTH, Werner

Which is the simplest way to put a service under and application to
listen on a port and behave similarly to the way it behaves when run
with twistd -noy script.tac but directly from a standard python
module? Lets assume I don't have access to the tac command and want to
emulate the behaveour.
