[Twisted-Python] Bring multi service up gradually

[Thomas Jacob]

Why not simply start the additional
services from the startFactory-method of your mainservice'
protocol factory?

i,e,:

class MainServiceFac(ServerFactory):
    def startFactory(self):
           <possibly call parent's startFactory>
           reactor.listenTCP(.... subservice 1)
           reactor.listenTCP(.... subservice 2)....
