Starting twisted service manually

[qvx]

I want to start twisted app from another GUI application and not via
twistd.
It works fine when started via twistd (1 & 2) but not when I try to
start it
manually (1 & 3) - nothing is listening to 8080 port.


# (1) common part
from nevow import rend, appserver
from twisted.applica tion import service, internet
from twisted.interne t import reactor

class Index(rend.Page ):
...


# (2) part used when running via twistd
application = service.Applica tion("my-app")
internet.TCPSer ver(8080,
appserver.Nevow Site(Index(r'D: \www'))).setSer viceParent(appl ication)


# (3) attempt to start the same thing but inside a larger (wxPython)
app
def run_in_thread() :
def runner():
application = service.Applica tion("my-app")
internet.TCPSer ver(8080,
appserver.Nevow Site(Index(r'D: \www'))).setSer viceParent(appl ication)
reactor.run(0)
thread.start_ne w_thread(runner , ())


I feel lost in twisted documentation and HOWTOs.

Please help!
