[Twisted-Python] using defferred?

[Mario Ruggier]

I had asked a similar question some time ago--this should surely
be added to the FAQ? (I see it is "mentioned" in the using-twistedweb
howto, but not really explained...)

Here's one way to do it (as I understand it), morphing your
example code to illustrate:

##

from twisted.internet import defer, threads
from twisted.web.server import NOT_DONE_YET

def callbackResult(result, request):
     request.write(result)
     request.finish()

class Simple(resource.Resource):
     isLeaf = True
     def render(self, request):
         d = threads.deferToThread(sendRequest)
         d.addCallback(callbackResult, request)
         return NOT_DONE_YET
...

##

Another way to do it could be to use the woven MVC, in
particular to use the IModel interface. Anyone can provide
a simple example for that?
