It seems to me that the Twisted model for 'reactor' is actually not what you'd expect from the name (at least, if you have a background in other reactor implementations including ACE, basic select etc and Java NIO) since it a) handles queueing outgoing data for you and b) presents incoming data after completion of the IO
I believe what Twisted calls the "reactor" would be better called a "proactor". -- mithrandi, i Ainil en-Balandor, a faer Ambar
