[Twisted-Python] Win32 IOCPReactor?

[Eric Mangold]

IOCPReactor isn't production-ready for most people's definitions of
"production".

And yes, it's been stagnant for a long time.. AFAIK it's mostly just lack
of attention. It's a lot of work, and so far nobody has been able to
commit to finishing it.

As for the default select-based reactor it should work fine. There aren't
any outstanding performance concerns that I am aware of. You will have to
test for yourself if it meets your requirements.

Hope that helps,
