Hi Moshe!

The decision to use Twisted was easy because 

a) I've met at least two of the Twisted developers so I know it's in
good hands :),

b) I've used asyncore in a different project and after a while I was
itching to do a substantial rewrite of asyncore, and

c) That other project's infrastructure was evolving in the direction of
twisted in some aspects

The test base class is finally publically available inder GPL for now:
http://www.intevation.de/cgi-bin/viewcvs-greater.cgi/*checkout*/GREAT-ERModel/test/reactormixins.py?rev=1.1&content-type=text/plain

It's actually two mix-in classes to unittest.TestCase like test cases.

I'd have to clarify that with my employer, but that shouldn't be a
problem, as we regularly contribute back to Free Software packages we
use if we have something worthwhile to contribute.
