I wonder if reactor is a reserved word in web2py. Could you try giving
it a different namespace?
from twisted import reactor as another_reactor

Hi,
I need to run some code that uses the Twisted library from within
web2py (listening to multicast events on the network, parsing the data
and then inserting it into the web2pt DB for integration into a webapp).
I get the following error upon importing Twisted. In the interests
of reproducibility, I added
from twisted.internet import reactor
to the first line of the default.py controller in the welcome app.
This is enough to trigger the bug:

There's nothing wrong with my twisted install - running the code I want to run
within the web2py context as a standalone script works fine.
Any help much appreciated.
Cheers,
Hugh.
