The Twisted download page shows that the current version for Macintosh is 8.2.0 for OS X 10.5

Are there known issues with this version of Twisted under 10.6, or is the Twisted web page just a bit out of date?

I'm not sure why this has been closed as not programming related. Twisted is a python library for developing network applications. It seems as if the asker wants to know if the library will work for his setup. –  Barry Wark Jan 11 '10 at 17:59
Seriously, are people voting to close without even knowing what Twisted is? –  Chuck Jan 11 '10 at 18:05

The OS X installer for Twisted isn't quite the usual distutils-based installer and there's no automation in the Twisted release process for creating it. This means availability of the installer for new versions of OS X or new versions of Twisted generally lag quite a bit.

However, the normal distutils-based installer (setup.py install) should accomplish the same thing. The Twisted 9.0 test suite passes completely on OS X 10.6. I suspect 8.2 also works, but I haven't seen the results of running the test suite.

Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.x) comes with Twisted 8.2.0 installed with the system python. So, yes, it works. Apple's Calendar Server is a twisted app.
