[IPython-dev] ipython with twisted reactor

[Min RK]

I don't know what the waker function would be, but the event loop IPython uses is tornado,
So that's what twisted needs to work with.

I haven't been able to get this to work in the notebook yet. I assume its a problem interacting with the tornado eventloop in ipython- but it could be something else (the examples work fine outside of ipython).
