Hello jean-Paul, I just saw your msg, I have sent some example code. I 
think I nkow where this is comming from, Apple has a version of twisted 
installed in it's python frameworks, and it's version 2.5. I just 
remembered I had the same error when on version 2.5 on linux. The 
problem is I don't know how to cleanly resolve this problem, I would 
need python to use my cersion an not Apple's, but how to do this?
