This example is misnamed -- it should be copy_receiver.tac.  "tac" stands
for "Twisted Application Configuration", and is run with "twistd -y".
twistd doesn't actually care what the file's extension is, so you can run it
with:

    twistd -noy copy_receiver.py

(see the twistd(1) man page and the twisted.application howto:
http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/howto/application)

I'll fix the docs to make this clearer.
