Although I know of Qt and WX users, I do not know of anyone currently using the corefoundation reactor in an application. Are you out there? Is it being used?
The last word I heard on the corefoundation reactor was from its author, Bob Ippolito, who suggested that it was not the correct way to integrate Twisted with GUI applications. However, his suggested replacement (threadedselectreactor) is buggy, also unmaintained, and IMHO misdesigned, so in the absence of other knowledge I believe that continuing to provide some corefoundation support would be the best way to support the mac. After receiving a shiny new computer from them I feel inclined to do the best job possible to support Apple's platform, but I simply don't have the time, knowledge, or energy to do the development myself.
It would be annoying to me if I could not use Twisted and PyObjC together. Currently I have a couple of noddy applications (the GUI equivalent of 5 line shell scripts) doing this (using tsr) and they work fine. I understand why you want to have less untrustworthy code in Twisted, but I think throwing out both tsr and cfreactor in 2.6 would be a step back, not forwards. I could claim that I'll try to look at cfreactor, but it's not especially realistic... Cheers, mwh -- "Also, does the simple algorithm you used in Cyclops have a name?"
