> You can just have a single reactor. E.g. if you do a listenTCP (e.g. on port 8080) on the reactor you can in the same process do a connectTCP to localhost in the same process on the same reactor; just connect to '127.0.0.1' or 'localhost' on port 8080.

But of course you'd use <https://twistedmatrix.com/documents/15.4.0/core/howto/endpoints.html>, not 'listenTCP' and 'connectTCP' directly, right? :)
