It is non-blocking. If it returns a Deferred it is unlikely to be
blocking, unless the author didn't understand what the point of
Deferreds are :) Remember: Twisted tries very hard to never require
you to do any kind of thread work.

Also remember, just in case: The only Twisted API that is thread safe
is reactor.callFromThread.
