Thanks David, but when I do something along the lines of:-
def mycall(in):
print(in)
d = self.connection.boxReceiver.callRemote(Command, a='test')
d.addCallBack(mycall)
The print never actually happens. I'm not really sure why, it was one
of the first things I tried. I tried the most basic thing, modifying
the doMath() example, and mycall only triggers when the reactor stops
(even if I run doMath multiple times with delays).
