[Twisted-Python] Problem with runInteraction and passing a dict variable

[Ron Arts]

Hello,

I am both a python and twisted beginner, but I think I have found
a problem in twisted. See the code below.
The handle_PeerStatus function receives a dict wich contains
some info. Then it calls runInteraction with that variable.
When the UpdatePeerStatus function is run, block is empty.

I did some investigating, it seems that UpdatePeerStatus is
run using a workerthread which takes it values from a Queue.

When the dict is pushed onto the Queue, it is valid, when
when it is popped by the worker thread, the var is empty.

Can anybody give me tips to solve this? Am I absolutely
missing something and on the wring track or should I enter a bug?

Thanks,
Ron

class .....
     def handle_PeerStatus(self, block):
         print block
         self.db.runInteraction(self.UpdatePeerStatus, block)


     def UpdatePeerStatus(self, txn, block):
         print block # prints {}
         status = block['PeerStatus']  # throws me an exception
