I think the "recommended" way to get access to a reactor instance is to
pass it in to methods that require it.
While this can sometimes seem tedious it a) helps testing (because now
you can easily pass a fake reactor object like Clock or a Mock instance)
and b) shows you (and your users) which methods are (or might-be) async.
So, try a signature like "def terrific_method(reactor):" instead. Now
when you're writing tests, you can do this:
fake_reactor = Clock()
d = terrific_method(fake_reactor)
fake_reactor.advance(2)
# etc.
