[Twisted-Python] Regarding Twisted Matrix

Do you really want to spawn a thread or a process? Since it seems like
you're trying to run a python script, you'd want to spawn a process
(since it also looks like you want to use a pipe for communication
with that process). Twisted has support for spawning processes - see
reactor.spawnProcess and ProcessProtocol:

Cheers,
Reza
