I am not new to Python but am to Twisted. I am also no guru when it comes to complex OO in Python. I have a PythonCard app that's a dashboard-like app and have it opening child windows that open SSH connections to various servers. I see plenty of conch examples of "open, get and close" but I would like to keep the connection to the server persistent so avoid the necessary connection overhead each time I want to fetch info from a server from the parent window. Does anyone have an example of a persistent conch connection inside wxPython or similar GUI? I have scoured the web and come up empty handed though I found a few shreds that have part of the answer. I've tried to tweak the nonpersistent examples, but making my way through four layers of subclasses is a bit daunting. Any help much appreciated. Paul.
