I assume you have checked out twisted.flow? Oh right. I remember. You 
wrote the original 'flow' module and then cce stole the name ;-) I 
recently used it to port some blocking code to Twisted and it made me as 
happy as a clam :) Of course, it's not the most concise thing, requiring 
something like:

def _myCodeThatUsedToBlock():
   thing = flow.wrap(getDeferred())
   yield thing
   thing = thing.next()

and then

def myCodeThatUsedToBlock():
   return flow.Deferred(myCodeThatUsedToBlock()
                       ).addCallback(lambda x: x[0])

But it's still incredibly useful. I've been thinking about using 
bytecode hacks to implement a 'wait()' macro. You would say something like:

def myCodeThatUsedToBlock():
  return wait(getDeferred())

evil.flowify()

And it would search the current module for functions that call 'wait', 
convert the 'wait' calls to the previous 'yield' dance, and 
automatically wrap them with functions that call flow.Deferred on their 
result... :-D

Hmm, sorry for being off-topic.
