The simplest way to get a protocol running on stdio has nothing to do
with addReader and addWriter, and you likely want to stay away from
them.

Try using twisted.internet.stdio.StandardIO(protocolInstance).

(that's a protocol *instance*, not a factory or class)

There's an example in doc/core/examples/stdin.py, and a more complex
demo at doc/core/examples/stdiodemo.py.
