Like any other project: I have a virtualenv where I install Twisted’s 
git checkout with “pip -e .” plus all the dependencies I need.

I also have a tox.ini for common permutations of deps and Python 3, but 
unfortunately the tests tend to fail with weird heisenerrors at least on 
OS X so I can’t rely on that.
