Knew I was forgetting something - starting the reactor would probably be
a fine idea, yeah.  The code I've got on file does all the subclassing
and even starts the reactor, I just blindly forgot to start the reactor
on the REPL.  That's what I get for copying the base of my code from an
example.

Thanks!
