[Twisted-Python] Getting a synchronous interface to a twisted reactor

[Andrey Fedorov]

I'm trying to write a dead-simple interface for an IRC client library, like
so:

     import simpleirc

    connection = simpleirc.Connect('irc.freenode.net', 6667)
    channel = connection.join('foo')

    find_command = re.compile(r'google ([a-z]+)').findall

    for msg in channel:
        for t in find_command(msg):
            channel.say("http://google.com/search?q=%s" % t)

Working from the example in the
docs<http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/core/howto/clients.html#auto5>,
I'm running into trouble with the callbacks (the code is a bit lengthy, so I
pasted it here <https://gist.github.com/e7e13f074a2691de6371>). The problem
is that the call to channel.__next__ needs to be returned when the
callback <IRCClient
instance>.privmsg is called, there doesn't seem to be a clean option of
doing that. I could try to use exceptions or threads, but that seems like
the wrong thing here, is there a simpler (blocking?) way of using a twisted
reactor that would make this possible?

Cheers,
Andrey
