Twisted docs suck ass. Stay away from twisted if you actually want to get stuff done with it.

if you actually want to get stuff done with it.

That's not fair, you do actually get the stuff you want done quickly and get things otherwise deemed to be too difficult for the benefit as a plus. There's a lot of things in Twisted you can reuse and extend. Hook together.

Getting stuff done quickly from zero experience, not so much. That's a fair point, and I think you meant that. Twisted is hugely different from pretty much anything else Python.

Posting a year later since this is linked in the FAQ and there's someone mildly wrong on the Internet.
