How do you you run a Twisted application via Python (instead of via Twisted)?

Question

I am working my way through learning Twisted, and have stumbled across something I\'m not sure I\'m terribly fond of - the \"Twisted Command Prompt\". I am fiddling around

Answer 1

I don't know if it's the best way to do this but what I do is instead of:

application = service.Application("chatserver")
internet.TCPServer(1025, factory).setServiceParent(application)

you can do:

from twisted.internet import reactor
reactor.listenTCP(1025, factory)
reactor.run()

Sumarized if you want to have the two options (twistd and python):

if __name__ == '__main__':
    from twisted.internet import reactor
    reactor.listenTCP(1025, factory)
    reactor.run()
else:
    application = service.Application("chatserver")
    internet.TCPServer(1025, factory).setServiceParent(application)

Hope it helps!
