This module provides support for Twisted to interact with the glib mainloop via GObject Introspection.

In order to use this support, simply do the following:

   from twisted.internet import gireactor
   gireactor.install()

If you wish to use a GApplication, register it with the reactor:

   from twisted.internet import reactor
   reactor.registerGApplication(app)

Then use twisted.internet APIs as usual.

On Python 3, pygobject v3.4 or later is required.

Class GIReactor GObject-introspection event loop reactor.
Class PortableGIReactor Portable GObject Introspection event loop reactor.
Function install Configure the twisted mainloop to be run inside the glib mainloop.
Function _oldGiInit Make sure pygtk and gi aren't loaded at the same time, and import Glib if possible.
def _oldGiInit(): (source)

Make sure pygtk and gi aren't loaded at the same time, and import Glib if possible.

def install(useGtk=False): (source)

Configure the twisted mainloop to be run inside the glib mainloop.

ParametersuseGtkshould GTK+ rather than glib event loop be used (this will be slightly slower but does support GUI).
