[Twisted-Python] Threading examples...

[William McLendon]

Hmmm... I tried something pretty close to that (though I have no callback 
called writeRequestAndFinish() in my example and am not sure what it's 
supposed to do)... but running the threads.deferToThread() routine still 
leaves me with the problem that the thread doesn't die.  I can't kill the 
app without going and manually killing it via pid.

Is there anything that I can do so that when aSillyBlockingMethod() is 
finished it just exits?

Thanks,
  -William
