reactor.py doesn't have those, yes - that's expected. Twisted does this 
terrible thing where it replaces "twisted.internet.reactor", which 
starts out as reactor.py, with a new object at import time. So your code 
should work even though the file itself is missing those functions. This 
is where it does that:
