Definitely worth looking into, although I have some doubts.

The first one is that I'm not sure that Twisted actually supports
Python 3 yet. The last report that I found was this one:

http://labs.twistedmatrix.com/2013/01/twisted-python-3-and-you.html

Which basically says, "don't use it". :-P

Another concern is that Twisted is a framework, which means including
at least the base Twisted stuff as well as the Twisted Names. I don't
know how big of a problem that is, but it is something to look at.

Alternatively we could look at it as an opportunity and make a Twisted
class as a sort of middleware to Bundy, allowing Bundy to take
advantage of *all* of Twisted, and vice versa....
