I already mentioned SynchronousDeferred, so I guess you're not 
interested in that. :)

The main other idea that comes to mind is, in the synchronous case, to 
start the reactor in a separate thread and leave it running.  You can 
ask it to do things with reactor.callFromThread.  Or maybe you can use 
twisted.internet.threads.blockingCallFromThread.
