[Twisted-Python] wxreactor ShowModal problem

[mail at ortling.com]

Hi everyone,

I have a problem with a modal dialog blocking wxreactor. If ShowDialog () is called from within a deferred callback which has been started by reactor.callLater everything twisted comes to a halt and continues only after the modal dialog has been closed. The sample script below should demonstrate the problem. I'm using twisted 2.2 for python2.4.

Help! and thanks in advance
