Glad I could help!

Klein is pretty purely a web-facing framework; it just helps you built the HTTP stuff that answers queries.  It doesn't help you talk to a database at all; you have to figure out your own way to do that.  This is historically a weak area for Twisted, sadly; you might find https://pypi.python.org/pypi/twextpy/ <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/twextpy/> useful as this brings the state of the art forward somewhat.

https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/7917 <https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/7917> is a ticket to bring that stuff into Twisted itself; if you are interested in Twisted/Database interaction, perhaps you could help split up the code there into smaller branches that can be merged.

Thanks!
