IMO Twisted is just a C framework design forced into Python.  To be
fair, Python threading became reliable about the time I was first
investigating it, and I never looked at Twisted again.  If I needed
a robust framework capable of handling hundreds or thousands of
simultaneous connections, I'd give it another try.

The Python standard library includes a much simpler C-like library:

as well as a more OOD library:
