This is likely a bug with Python. See http://bugs.python.org/issue2698

Meanwhile, you could install ActivePython and install Twisted via PyPM (no compilers needed).

Alternatively, you can use the official binary ... though I recommend the aforementioned solution as you can easily 'upgrade' to newer versions of Twisted in future.
