I've written a few clients with Twisted, usually GUI things, and I've
never used twistd. Sometimes it would be possible, but I think in your
case, it's not worth all the hassle. Maybe if someone made a _sane_
programmatic interface to twistd (so you could fire it up after
figuring out which reator you want to use, etc), it would be usable in
this situation, but that doesn't exist.

As for debugging, just run pdb.py on your script.
