Sadly it's undocumented, but you're probably looking for:
http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/api/twisted.application.app.html#startApplication

The only examples I can find of it's use are by people who want to start a
"tac" type application as a WinNT Service, but I think it would work for
your purposes as well.

Here's an example:
http://foobar.lu/wp/2007/06/27/runnning-a-twisted-application-as-windows-service/

You can see the application object is created as normal (though in the
example it happens in a different file and is imported), then
startApplication is called, then reactor.run().

Good Luck!
