Web interface for a twisted application

Question

I have a application written in Twisted and I want to add a web interface to control and monitor it. I\'ll need plenty of dynamic pages that show the current status and conf

You can bind it directly into the reactor like the example below:

reactor.listenTCP(5050, site)
reactor.run()

If you need to add children to a WSGI root visit this link for more details.

Here is an example showing how to combine WSGI Resource with a static child.

from twisted.internet import reactor
from twisted.web import static as Static, server, twcgi, script, vhost
from twisted.web.resource import Resource
from twisted.web.wsgi import WSGIResource
from flask import Flask, g, request

class Root( Resource ):
    """Root resource that combines the two sites/entry points"""
    WSGI = WSGIResource(reactor, reactor.getThreadPool(), app)
    def getChild( self, child, request ):
        # request.isLeaf = True
        request.prepath.pop()
        request.postpath.insert(0,child)
        return self.WSGI
    def render( self, request ):
        """Delegate to the WSGI resource"""
        return self.WSGI.render( request )

def main():

static = Static.File("/path/folder")
static.processors = {'.py': script.PythonScript,
                 '.rpy': script.ResourceScript}
static.indexNames = ['index.rpy', 'index.html', 'index.htm']

root = Root()
root.putChild('static', static)

reactor.listenTCP(5050, server.Site(root))
reactor.run()
