No.  You can only call Twisted APIs in a single thread.  The thread 
everything will happen in is the one you call reactor.run() in, so 
that's the one you have to call all other APIs in.  There is one 
exception, reactor.callFromThread, which you can call from any thread. 
It lets you schedule another call to happen in the same thread as 
reactor.run was called in.
