I am creating a Plone product which uses Twisted's nntp module to fetch newsgroup postings and display them within my Plone site. Within a Plone template I call the Plone External Method, XXXnewsreader. The first time I view the page containing this external method it runs fine but the second time it hangs.
I've run the python debugger and it appears to be running an infinite loop within the function mainloop within the class PosixReactorBase.
Can anyone share some ideas about what I may be doing wrong here or why the reactor appears to be stuck in the mainlop func? Thanks for any assistance in advance.
I am running under Windows XP using Twisted 2.5.0 and using Plone 2.1.3, Zope 2.8.7-final, python 2.3.5.
Starting reactors multiple times is not currently a supported feature.

But is restarting the reactor supported? I'm sorry if I was not clear but after the requested data is received I call reactor.stop() and return back to Plone/Zope engine. If later another request is made I will call the reactor.run(installSignalHandlers=0). But again this will only be done after a call to reactor.stop and within a different function call. Does this matter or is this what mean by starting the reactor multiple times? Ed
