Hi, a newby question: i try to invoke an action in a twisted matrix program from a process running on my machine: for example: i start a program (test.py), which generates output. test.py should call the twisted matrix program (which is already running and waiting for input) and hand over its output to the twisted matrix program. to do this i examined the examples process.py and quotes.py (on the HOWTO pages of the twisted matrix homepage). quotes.py seems to be an example which is quite close. When i start it on the shell, nothing happens. if i understand right, quotes.py waits for a tcp-connection on port 10999. Is it also possible to read the data from test.py from stdout (like in process.py) without invoking this program in the twisted matrix program Thanks Dani
