[Twisted-Python] No-op TimerService on Windows?

[Eric Faurot]

Hi,

In the process of exploring my options for deploying twisted
applications on Windows, I noticed that when running the application,
_twistw (line 43) also starts a TimerService around a no-op:

app.startApplication(internet.TimerService(0.1, lambda:None), 0)

I suppose there is very good reason to do so, but I do not see it.
Can somebody enlighten me?

Eric.
