Ah I can see how you solved the problem:

def main(self):
		self.checkEvents(pygame.event.get())

		... snip lots of code ...

		#come back here at a rate of approx 30fps
		reactor.callLater(0.03, self.main)

Basically you asked twisted to call your function, and when your
function finishes, you ask twisted to call it again.

I'd prefer not to use twisted this way. It turns what should be a
simple, tight inner loop into a function call which has to work its
way through twisted's scheduling mechanics for every frame.
