This probably means you have not yet called reactor.run, or called reactor.run(installSignalHandler=0). You will probably never see this process finish, and it may become a zombie process.

Well the calendar server (at least) uses the system twisted. It is best 
to leave the system python alone and install / use a python.org python 
install. Are the buildbot scripts hardcoded to use the system python on 
Macs? If so you will have to stick with the system version of twisted, 
which seems to be problematic.

All the best,

Michael
