[Twisted-Python] Twisted network games

[Ben Olsen]

I've had great success integrating Twisted and Pygame for some learning 
projects I've been doing (started with a netPong, moving on to 
netPente). Personally I use the Pygame loop and call reactor.iterate(), 
but I'd be curious to hear what other people have done.
