You didn't mention why you can't update Python, or if that means you
can't install new libraries either.  However, if you have Twisted 8.2
or newer, you can replace your snippet with this shell command:

    twistd -n web --port <port> --wsgi <application>

<application> is the fully-qualified Python name of your application
object.  So, for example if you have a module named "foo" that defines
an "application" name, you would pass "foo.application".
