Hi Marcel,

I see. Thanks for your quick reply!

And yes, since it really is necessary to run `viff.reactor.install()` manually
before `from twisted.internet import reactor` you are absolutely right — all
example apps are up-to-date.

I see Marcel answered this with lightning speed, cool! :-)

I'll like to add that it's very easy to get online:

Hi Joel,


Is it still necessary to run `viff.reactor.install()` as described in
 in
order to utilize the VIFF reactor?

 - If so, would it be possible to "fix" that?


I don't see a good way to that, for the following reasons:
- To change the default reactor properly, it would be necessary to 
change the Twisted source code. That is not an elegant way.
- The VIFF reactor could be installed in the runtime module. However, if 
it would be done that way, viff.runtime would have to be imported before 
importing the reactor, which is a possible source of errors. 
Furthermore, that would prevent other reactors like the GtkReactor from 
being used.



 - If not, then the example apps would need to be updated accordingly.


As far as I can see, all example apps are updated in VIFF 1.0.

Best regards,
Marcel
