[Twisted-Python] serial port and http program

[Brendan Simon]

I have a small program that I want to write in python with a wxpython gui.

The program has to talk to a hand held device via a serial port and then
talk to a http server which returns an xml stream/file, which is then
parsed and information sent back to the hand held device over the serial
port.

Is there an advantage to using twisted for such an application ??

Is it more complicated to do so (i.e. using twisted versus not using
twisted).

Would it just be an added dependency that would be more of a pain than a
benefit ??

Thanks for any advice.
Brendan.
