Hi all,

At my company, we heavily use IPython for debugging and testing. The following code shows, how to run a reactor together with IPython:

from twisted.internet import reactor from twisted.python import threadable threadable.init(1)

import threading class MyThread(threading.Thread): def run(self): print "starting reactor.." reactor.run(installSignalHandlers=False)

if __name__=="__main__": m=MyThread() m.start() from IPython.Shell import IPythonShellEmbed ipshell = IPythonShellEmbed() ipshell() # this call anywhere in your program will start IPython

have fun,

Thorsten
