That is likely a much better idea! Will I need to use some threading if I'm making web calls then from list? Presumably if I don't the whole process will block while it's waiting for web responses?
If you're using Twisted's web clients (getPage or the more complex but superior Agent) you do not need threads, Twisted will do the networking in a non-blocking manner. E.g. def list(self, path): return twisted.web.client.getPage(...).addCallback(convertHTTPResponseToFTPListing) -- Itamar Turner-Trauring, Future Foundries LLC http://futurefoundries.com/ — Twisted consulting, training and support.
