[Twisted-Python] Python3 twistd daemon for Ubuntu 14.04 alternatives

[Hynek Schlawack]

>>> So my problem is that while my protocol stack spins up very nicely and trivially easy using the twistd daemon, the standard python3-twisted package for 14.04 is waaaay behind and doesn't include twistd (!), and I haven't found a good backport.  I'd also like to avoid doing things that make life hard for DevOps, such as pip3 installing and risking a package manager fight.
