[Twisted-Python] Synchronous Wrapper for Deferreds

[Ken Kinder]

A day or two ago, I inquired on IRC about making calls from an existing 
synchronous script. The script is not related to any Twisted activity, 
so minimal intervention was sort of a goal. Obviously this doesn't work 
on non-transient objects such as Perspective Broker ones, but here's 
what I came up with... (See attached) Obviously there is some cleaning 
up to do, but it demonstrates the idea.

I have three questions: (1) I know this isn't the ideal way to use 
Twisted, but is there anything inherently problematic about my solution 
for one-off calls to Twisted. (2) I understand there are problems with 
running the same reactor twice. What are those problems and is there a 
recommended work around? (3) Are there any ideas on making a synchronous 
version of a Perspective Broker client to integrate into existing 
synchronous applications more easily?

Thanks
-Ken
