If you're not using twistd to launch your app you'll have to run reactor.run(). Otherwise, the eventloop won't ever start.
In terms of exposing something like get_messages()...couldn't that issue the callLater with a very tiny value? Or issue the first connectTCP, which the others chained via addCallback? -J On Fri, Jun 18, 2010 at 11:55 AM, Szabolcs Balogh <bszabo...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Friday 18 June 2010 20:25:50 Itamar Turner-Trauring wrote: >> > It sounds good, but if I don't call reactor.run() after connectSSL >> > doesn't happens anything...
