ZMQ and Twisted

Question

I'm trying to do something seemingly simple, but I'm not sure how to go about it...

I have an application that publishes messages over a ZMQ PUB socket. I'd like to write a small server that subscribes to these updates and broadcasts them to all connected websocket clients.

This seems simple on the surface, but I don't know how to trigger an event in the twisted reactor when data is received through the subscription. I know ZMQ has an ioloop as well, but it is not the same as twisted...

What's the best way to go about this? I don't have to use twisted, some other python framework will do if something can deal with this better (rpclib?)

If you want to use ØMQ with Twisted, you can use txZMQ. The documentation on the linked page has a couple of basic examples which ought to get you started.
