FWIW, this is probably even easier than when you last tried it:

    exarkun at kunai:~$ twistd -n web --port 8080 --path /tmp
    2007-01-31 22:19:34-0500 [-] Log opened.
    2007-01-31 22:19:34-0500 [-] twistd 2.5.0+r19505 (/usr/bin/python 2.4.3) starting up
    2007-01-31 22:19:34-0500 [-] reactor class: <class 'twisted.internet.selectreactor.SelectReactor'>

But I absolutely agree with this point, anyway :)  Software is _crazy_
hard.  I merely dispute the claim that threads are somehow _easier_. :)
