[Twisted-Python] reactor.run hangs

[Alexandre Quessy]

Hello giskard,
I suggest you leave the reactor.run() in the if __name__ == "__main__"
of your application. It's a blocking call, until you call
reactor.stop().
Thats make things a lot easier when you need to merge many
applications, classes, etc. together.

Next, to start your Jabber client, you should probably do it when
reactor is running. To do so, you can use a reactor.callLater.

if __name__ == "__main__":
  def _later():
    # do stuff
  reactor.callLater(0, _later)
  reactor.run()
