[Twisted-Python] Deffered question

[soso]

Hello Andrew, 

Thanks a lot for your detailed answer. The examples you gave made things more
clear now.

That's great! The documentation is compatible with version 1.0.7?

Well, basically I want to write a SNMP management system. The server will query
one or more SNMP servers, receive traps, and save all results in a database. A
client can connect to the server and ask for statistics, or query a SNMP server
(through the application server); both this kind of requests may be time-consuming.
So after seeing your examples, I think that this time consuming server
operations (database, and SNMP queries) should be deffered to a pool of worker
threads.

Ok, now a problem that I heard of is Twisted interaction with wxPython. I did
not test it, but if you or anyone else can confirm that it can work ok it would
be nice. I would like to be able to send commands to server from a modal dialog
and receive back the response. Is it possible?

Thanks,
soso
