Sounds like makeSomeBlockingCall is just misnamed (probably depending
who you ask).
I wrote a small library recently that wraps Twisted's Deferreds and
asynchronous Failure objects such that you can do stuff like
try:
x = yield remoteObject.getSomething()
except Foo:
print "Oh no!"
This is just a 2.5-ification of defgen, which is at
twisted.internet.defer.{deferredGenerator,waitForDeferred}. So anyway,
if your actor messages always return Deferreds, then this works quite
nicely.
