Not to be a wet blanket, but could someone tell me why anyone would want
to do this?  Twisted looks like an application layer that lets you build
servers and clients on top of an interconnected network of services.

Someone enlighten me?  It sounds like it is just reinventing the wheel,
and adding one more level of complexity to a system we're already having a
hard time getting the world to recognize.
