[Twisted-Python] Stopping Reactor in UnitTest Callback

[Fabian Rothfuchs]

Hey Jean-Paul (and all the others in this thread),

Thank you very much for your help so far - I do really appreciate it!

I'm well aware of the fact that `deferLater` does not magically turn
blocking apps to non-blocking ones.
The idea is, whatever SUDS does, in the end it should send a SOAP request
to my
TestServer.
My problem is, that SUDS indeed sends the request, but wants to get an
immediate response, which causes a deadlock.

I just came across the very same question asked a couple of years ago:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2671228/python-how-can-i-use-twisted-as-
the-transport-for-suds

This should help me out of this.

Cheers
Fabian
