Yes, I know, but I'm using Twisted in a way that I allow blocking 
because it doesn't matter in my application, I receive a msg then access 
hardware and therefor I can only do one thing at a time (with this 
hardware anyways). If I use wxreactor with this model the GUI freezes up 
when I access the IO. I used to use wxreactor, put the IO calls in a 
queue and run one after another in a thread but this posed other 
problems when I needed to interact in between the GUI, the network 
(Twisted) and the IO threads, with my current code it has become much 
simpler and more reliable.
