[Twisted-Python] Best way to trigger a future connection with data

[Nick Johnson]

Thanks lvh,

I did have to override the buildProtocol method in the Factory but I
then set Protocol.factory to be equal to the Factory (ie,
myprotocol.factory=self).

I'm still stuck however with what to do when I get more complex than
this simple case. For example, I use a callingLoop to call multiple
connections with a 0.1 second interval to launch jobs and each of those
connections does as mentioned by setting up a future connection to
retrieve the output, say 10 seconds later. There is going to be some
overlap, ie I might have launched 100 new jobs before the first one
fires it's task.callLater.

Storing state in the factory class doesn't work in this case because
each new connection wont know whether to initiate a job or retrieve
output as I cannot pass it this extra information.

Cheers,
-Nick.
