threadedselectreactor works great, and you need only one file from SVN.

Here are the basics to use it:

import wx
from twisted.internet import threadedselectreactor
threadedselectreactor.install()
from twisted.internet import reactor

# on startup (in my app's __init__):
reactor.interleave(wx.CallAfter)

# on end (in my app's __del__):
reactor.stop()

main = MyApp()
main.MainLoop()
