I was interested in Andrews Paper on this subject. I note he recommends running a twisted server as a tasklet.

Is there a problem doing this?

factory = pb.PBClientFactory reactor.connectTCP('127.0.0.1', 1234, Factory) # Load other tasklets here stackless.tasklet(reactor.iterate)(1)

or should I perhaps do this?

factory = pb.PBClientFactory reactor.connectTCP('127.0.0.1', 1234, Factory) # Load other tasklets here while 1: stackless.tasklet(reactor.iterate)(1) stackless.schedule()

What does the delay in reactor.iterate(delay=0) do? Is there a reactor.run_once() call?

I want to make the reactor a tasklet so it is included in the scheduler. Seems to be working but have I opened a can of worms?

Most or all uses of reactor.iterate() are wrong. How should it be used? It looks to be working very successfully so far. The docs say "All pending |IDelayedCall| <http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/api/twisted.internet.interfaces.IDelayedCall.html>s will be called."

Does this not mean the reactor will process its queue and return? I imagine the delay argument specifies a maximum duration before the return. The docs do not describe this yet.

I don't think Andrew's paper suggested doing this. Why did you decide to?

I want a way to let twisted.reactor yield to the stackless scheduler. Thanks for any advice Simon
