[Twisted-Python] internet.TimerSevice in twisted.scripts.twistw

[Maciej Szumocki]

Hello,

 Just a question that has been bugging me and i can't figure out the answer on my own.
 Why is there a line like this in python.scripts._twistw runApp:

    app.startApplication(internet.TimerService(0.1, lambda:None), 0)

 while there is no such thing in python.scripts.twistd? Is it some Windows-specific
 workaround i need to worry about if i run my application without using twistd?
