Thanks. I did some poking and I didn't have twisted_qtstub either.  
I'm not sure why, but I rebuilt from source and discovered that all  
it does at this point is raise an exception to tell me that qtreactor  
is no longer included in the Twisted distribution... Alas.

However, it also points to a place to download the necessary parts -  
I'll post it again here on the theory that I'm no the only one who  
couldn't find it initially:
