Take a look at reactor.spawnProcess().

Well, what you're doing wrong is you're using local->remote forwarding
in your example.  What you want is to ask the server to forward a remote
port over the connection.  Look at twisted.scripts.conch.SSHConnection,
methods requestRemoteForwarding and channel_forwarded_tcpip for an
example of how to implement remote->local forwarding.
