[Twisted-Python] passing command line args to twistd daemons
i've got an application (invoked via: twistd -noy fpc.py) that i'd like to use for multiple purposes by passing command line arguments. when i do so, twistd objects that they are invalid arguments. i'd hoped for some magic arg that partitions the args into twistd arguments and app arguments, something like: twist -noy fpc.py -- -x -y -z but no such luck. so, is there a way to accomplish this? if not, what is the preferred mechanism for customizing an application's behavior at startup time? thanks ---- Garry Hodgson, Technical Consultant, AT&T Labs Your love, your anger, your kindness, your hate.

Not at the moment. Two alternatives (not contradictory) we've been considering: 1. Turn twistd into a library, so you can write your own command-line tools reusing its functionality. Patches accepted, this should be a pretty easy refactor. 2. Adding coil support to twistd and twisted in general (http://itamarst.org/software/coil-0.1.1.tar.gz); in addition to the general configuration power this gives you, coil files can also be overridden by command-line tools in a generic way. Short term, you could have the .tac point at a configuration file which you could edit separately.
