You don't use threads with twisted. Twisted is an async event-driven framework. The only use for threads in twisted is calling non-Twisted APIs that block (and ideally release the python GIL). The most prominent instance of this is the twisted.enterprise.adbapi wrapper around the python dbapi. > > * the first on is an HTTP REST interface to allow the user to add feeds > url in a queue.

You don't do it that way (though possibly you might want to run the XML parsing in a thread if the feeds are large). I suggest you look at the Twisted examples to get a feel for running a server and a client in the same thread. > > So the goal is to transform the http://dpaste.com/22198/ script into a > daemon where I can add feed with a REST API.
