Hi, so for my first post to the list I am going to ask a somewhat lame question. Apologies if this is not the right list -- clues welcome. I am doing a deploy of a server written in Python3 on Ubuntu 14.04. (14.04 for various reasons that are uninteresting to the list but DevOps has good/historical/hysterical reasons...) So my problem is that while my protocol stack spins up very nicely and trivially easy using the twistd daemon, the standard python3-twisted package for 14.04 is waaaay behind and doesn't include twistd (!), and I haven't found a good backport. I'd also like to avoid doing things that make life hard for DevOps, such as pip3 installing and risking a package manager fight. So some options: - Is there a reliable backport of the python3-twisted package for 14.04? Google is failing me on that one. - All I need is the most basic twistd functionality. Perhaps I should spin up my own by snarfing the code out of the twisted source repo. I can package this with my stuff temporarily and get on with life. Clues to the relevant parts of the repo welcome, I haven't poked around much in Twisted sources so need a road map. - Perhaps I should create my own backport for Ubuntu 14.04 of the current python3-twisted .deb. (This is probably not the right list to ask, but I'm happy to dereference a pointer.) This is a short-term problem for me, we are transitioning to 16.04 soon, but the process is driven by other parts of the software stack. So I don't want to over-invest. I'm looking for a reasonable band-aid. Thanks! -dave
