I would greatly benefit from some direction regarding workflow. In particular, how do you guys deal with having an installed version of twisted, and a version (versions?) with which to tinker?

Currently, I have twisted installed in the normal end user way, and I have a clone of my fork of the git repo. I mess around in the git repo clone, but I don't know how to e.g. run the tests or run applications using the git clone.

glyph explained this to me on irc a while back. Are the instructions from that recorded somehwere?

Why am I asking? Because I want to do reviews and I'm not doing it because I don't know how to set up a sane environment.

Like any other project: I have a virtualenv where I install Twisted’s git checkout with “pip -e .” plus all the dependencies I need. I also have a tox.ini for common permutations of deps and Python 3, but unfortunately the tests tend to fail with weird heisenerrors at least on OS X so I can’t rely on that.
