[Twisted-Python] Howto access protocol outside of the class

I have a class: class ForemClient(LineReceiver): I am using wxPython to build a GUI. I am having the hardest time trying to access the instance of this class so I can call the transport methods from a wxPython button event. How can I make this accessible outside of the class itself? I seen that ClientCreator could be used for this, but I can’t find an example of using the instance outside of itself. Anyone able to help? chat = ClientCreator(reactor, ForemClient) d = chat.connectSSL("localhost", 1025, ssl.ClientContextFactory()) reactor.run() -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
