[Twisted-Python] twistd doesn't work

[Werner Thie]

No need to install a full blown Zope, just install the interface package

http://www.zope.org/Products/ZopeInterface

On the Mac also make sure that you're path is set to the correct 
directories where twistd resides (usually in your Python installation in 
the Scripts subdirectory)

If you want to find 'something' on your machine, use find in a terminal 
window like

find / -name 'twistd' -print

If you want to look at your PATH variable

use $PATH or env

if you want to change your path, open a fresh terminal an enter

open .bash_profile

which should open the file with one of the text editors available

HTH, Werner
