Maybe having the tubes one use threads by default is a good idea. For getting a file as a string, you can just do: d = deferToThread(lambda path: FilePath(path).getContent()) For more complex usage patterns, you'll probably want to write custom code using deferToThread/deferToThreadPool anyway. -- Itamar Turner-Trauring, Future Foundries LLC http://futurefoundries.com/ — Twisted consulting, training and support.
