here's a simple one off the top of my head:

-- snip --

from twisted.internet import app
from twisted.web import server

import my_web_app

application = app.Application("my_web_app")
s = server.Site(my_web_app.MyGadget())
application.listenTCP(80, s)

-- snip --

You can also look in Twisted/doc/examples/; for example, bugs.tac is a
webwidgets app.
