  Non-blocking user-input is the hardest part of this program.  That said,
if you go with one of the GUI toolkits that Twisted is integrated with, it
should be no problem (Qt, Gtk, Tk, PyUI, curses, wxWindows).  Their
mainloops are mashed into Twisted's in various ways, letting network and
user events happily co-exist.  If you go with another toolkit, you'll have
to find some way to accomplish the same mainloop integration.

  Examples for GUI apps are (surprise) in doc/examples/
