# ``twisted`.`internet`.`gireactor``

module documentation
(source)

This module provides support for Twisted to interact with the glib mainloop via GObject Introspection.

In order to use this support, simply do the following:

        from twisted.internet import gireactor
        gireactor.install()

If you wish to use a GApplication, register it with the reactor:

        from twisted.internet import reactor
        reactor.registerGApplication(app)

Then use twisted.internet APIs as usual.

On Python 3, pygobject v3.4 or later is required.

Variable | `_pygtkcompatPresent` | Undocumented

def install(useGtk=False): (source)
Configure the twisted mainloop to be run inside the glib mainloop.
