I 'd like to add a pre-processing and post-processing callback in a deferred callback list. I did somthing like this :

You are using Deferreds incorrectly. For example, nothing here makes new_defer ever trigger.
It is a sample code to show inconcistency of chainDeferred, not a real case. Add my_defer.callback(True) after the sample code if you'd like and trace it. You should see that postprocessing() is called with None argument, but not with the result of previous callback as it should be with a normal behaviour of deferred callbacks (read the tutorial)
You haven't stated clearly what you want to do, but I don't see why you aren't just doing this:
d = getADeferredForSomething() d.addCallback(preprocessing) d.addCallback(theRealMcCoy) d.addCallback(postprocessing)
Same as before, it is a *sample code*. In real case theRealMcCoy (and some more methodes) is added before I need to add a post/preprocessing to that defer. So, I restate the probleme with chainDeferred : chainDeferred(d) is equivalent to addCallbacks(d.callback, d.errback), but this two methods are not really sort of callback methods for deferred coz they didn't return a result. effcy.
