I don't understand why packaging Twisted with your app is a problem;
I've packaged self-contained apps that require Twisted before and it
was very simple.

And on stdlib integration: No, Twisted probably won't be integrated
into the main library any time soon. Maybe bits and pieces of our
`utility' functionality will, but it's obvious that it's a real PITA
to maintain an in-python version along-side our own package (If you've
never had to figure out which versions of PyXML have which conflicting
bugs, I envy you :-).
