If you just want to run web2py with twisted as web server, look into web2py/anyserver.py. There is already a handler for that. If you are looking at using twisted to handle asynchronous calls, I guess it can be done as with tornado in web2py/gluon/contrib/ comet_messaging.py Any higher level of integration would probably require a lot of work and I do not think it is going to happen.
