Thanks, I was quite sceptical about this but based on your advise I tried it out and merging ampclient and ampserver does seem to have the desired effect. Expanding on that, I guess I'll have two factories and two protocols, one for each 'end', with listenTCP right at the start and connectTCP run later on when my GUI is ready. Theoretically, limiting communication to twisted only would mean the client would be able to access a localhost server and a server on another machine in exactly the same way. Do I have to concern myself with race conditions though? Not very sure how to write tests for those (or if it's even a problem given this is single-process and single-thread). Basically, will there ever be a case where my client sends a Command (I'm using amp.Command) and the server doesn't get it because my overall process is blocked? I assume there's some sort of timeout which controls that? _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list [email protected] http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
