[Twisted-Python] How do I run a twisted server directly

I'd like to use my IDE to debug rather than the python debugger.

Also, I ran twistd.py and got "Please use twistw on windows, not twistd"
(I'm on windows sometimes).  I then ran twistw.py and nothing happened.  I
looked at the file, and there were only class and function definitions.  I
added "run()" at the end of the file and it seems to work.  I'm using the
version 1.2.0 which was marked as "Twisted Stable Release" on the download
page.

Basically, Don't Do That. It's unlikely there's a good reason to. If you
just want to learn how it works under the hood, then read twistd's
source: twisted/scripts/twistd.py. twisted/application/app.py is also
relevant.
