If you're not using twistd to launch your app you'll have to run reactor.run(). Otherwise, the eventloop won't ever start. In terms of exposing something like get_messages()...couldn't that issue the callLater with a very tiny value? Or issue the first connectTCP, which the others chained via addCallback? -J On Fri, Jun 18, 2010 at 11:55 AM, Szabolcs Balogh <bszabolcs@gmail.com> wrote:

There are two types of client connections:
1. Connections you open when you first run the program. Call these before reactor.run() is called.
2. Connections that happen as result of events. Events are all dispatched by the reactor, so e.g. gui click or data received over network connection will result in functions being called by the reactor. These functions can also open new connections.
The key here is to distinguish between the order of the code in the text file, and the order the code runs in. In the following example, the connectTCP will happen *after* reactor.run():
# this will get called 10 seconds after reactor.run(): def happensLater(): reactor.connectTCP(....)
reactor.callLater(10, happensLater) reactor.run()

It is possible to: - start the reactor when I initialize my program (eg. in main) - call connectTCP or connectSSL when I want and every time I want?
Something like this:
def check_messages(account): # connect to imap server and check for new mailboxes/messages reactor.connectSSL(...)
if __name__ == "__main__": reactor.run()
check_message(account1) check_message(account2) ... do something else ... check_message(accountn)
Because I can't implement this :}
I have started the implementation based on "Twisted Network Programming Essential", but this book doesn't treat multiple connections...
