And unfortunately I failed to notice this while writing the book. Apologies to Windows users. Is it really impossible to do asynchronous IO on stdin/out on Windows? Anybody have any ideas for working around the lack of fcntl? I'd be happy to contribute to an effort to make twisted.internet.stdio run on Windows.
In the worst case, it could be emulated using threads doing blocking read/write.
