This works, thanks.
When I started to write the code, I figured out various methods to start 
threads in twisted.
Well, I do not really understand, how they differ.
For example:
reactor.runFromThread
reactor.runInThread

and what is the difference between
threads.deferToThread and reactor.callInThread ?
Both methods worked fine.

Is it threadsafe to run the reactor in a thread?

regards,

Thorsten
