As I said, I don't have time to write the PEPs myself, but I might fix some specific bugs if there were a clear set of issues preventing this from moving forward. Better integration with the standard library would definitely be a big win for both Twisted and Python.

Here's where I'm coming from:

My first experience with Twisted was excellent: I needed a web server in fifteen minutes to do my PyCon presentation, and it Just Worked.

My second experience with Twisted? Well, I didn't really have one. My first experience was Twisted 1.1, and when I tried installing 2.0 on my Mac (about 1.5 years ago), it just didn't work. Combined with the difficulty of using the documentation and the fact that I was in a hurry, I rejected the Twisted solution. (My company needed an FTP server that did a callback every time a file got uploaded -- something that I expect would be very simple for Twisted.)
