Thanks for the advice. Bob Ippolito also suggested
this. However I have been experimenting with the
Twisted task class.

I am still testing but I have done the following with
success.

1. Set up a function -

def pump():
    stackless.schedule()

2. l = task.LoopingCall(pump)
   l.start(some_time_period)
   reactor.listenTCP(port, MyHttpFactory())
   reactor.run()

While Twisted waits for a connection, the call to
pump() allows other tasklets that are waiting, a
chance to run.

Once I know all the ins-and-outs, I will write this up
in the Wiki including an example.

Thanks for everyone's help.

Cheers,
Andrew
