But I am not sure how to get started yet... I want to write something that can be run with twistd. Can anyone offer guidance or suggestions as to the approach? Right now, I am locked on the example here: http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/howto/application.html ... Is this what I should be looking at for inspiration? Or another approach all together? I've not come across examples of twisted apps that are a narrow specialization like what I have in mind... the app would be a *kind* of server... that would regularly spawn processes and wait for return data, regularly instantiate python monitoring classes.
In case any other twisted newbies are interested in learning to apply twisted in a similar manner, I am sharing a link I found the other day: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/python/2004/02/12/advanced_nio.html?page=3 Though this example doesn't use twisted.application or the plug-in method (both of which I am exploring, and will use), it's code has given me ideas on how to proceed. It's simplicity and conceptual similarity to what I am doing is just what I needed :-)
