It's not clear from your message whether you're using
internet.TCPServer() in your actual production code, or if that's just
something you picked to make a simple example for the mailing-list.

If you really are using internet.TCPServer(), you can just skip the
Application object entirely, and call reactor.listenTCP() instead of
internet.TCPServer(), then reactor.run() at the bottom.

If you've written your own Server or Application subclass that you want
to run, Kevin Horn's answer is probably the one you want.
