With PEAK's EventDriven class, using PEAK and Twisted together is very 
simple.  The attached program uses the Example class from Twisted's 
XMLRPC docs [1] within a simple App class derived from EventDriven.  You 
can run it with something like the following:

   PYTHONPATH=. peak import:twisted1.App

The example client code works exactly the same:

   >>> import xmlrpclib
   >>> s = xmlrpclib.Server('http://localhost:7080/')
   >>> s.echo("lala")
   'lala'
   >>> s.add(1, 2)
   3

Note how the Twisted reactor is obtained in the App class, and how the 
__onStart method tells the reactor to listen with the given server 
object and port number.  Using every other Twisted service follows from 
this example, so it should be about as simple to setup a Twisted web 
server for use with Nevow.
