[ZODB-Dev] Re: ZEO and Twisted

[David Pratt]

Hi Jim. My experience has been in running a single selectreactor in an 
app together with its own main loop.

I found a patch on google to allow multiple selectreactors but have not 
seen the patch applied to svn or attempted the change in twisted as yet. 
I have emailed the maintainer to ask about it. I was looking at the zeo 
server service first which should be happy to run on its own. There is 
no risk at this stage to experiment with my ideas other than learning 
more than I did before about twisted and ZEO.

Regards,
David
