[Twisted-Python] epoll reactor in Twisted 2.50 tarball

Hello guys,

I have to install Twisted 2.50 on our Ubuntu Dapper servers. The problem is
that I have to use the Twisted 2.50 tarball since Dapper apt repositories
only have Twisted 2.40. The installation went smoothly and my twisted
applications works except that when I try to run my scripts using the epoll
reactor (twistd -ny ./myscript -r epoll) I get this error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/twistd", line 21, in ?
    run()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/twisted/scripts/twistd.py", line
27, in run
    app.run(runApp, ServerOptions)

    installReactor(shortName)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/twisted/application/reactors.py",
line 80, in installReactor
    installer.install()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/twisted/application/reactors.py",
line 60, in install
    namedAny(self.moduleName).install()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/twisted/python/reflect.py", line
357, in namedAny
    topLevelPackage = __import__(trialname)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/twisted/internet/epollreactor.py",
line 22, in ?
    from twisted.python import _epoll
ImportError: cannot import name _epoll


On my workstation (LinuxMint 3.0), the epoll reactor works fine. The
difference is that I installed Twisted via apt-get. Thanks in advance for
anyone who can point me to the right way.
