Sorry, I should have explained some more.

The test_twisted_wrapper() could be done using the testreactor we have
discussed in this thread with mocket. But if it would be possible to
start and stop the testreactor as many times as I wanted I would just
replace the reactor with testreactor, along with the deferred sample you
showed, and I should be all set. So I think I actually answered my own
question.
