The only conflict between Urwid and twisted right now is that the 
get_input() function relies on being able to read input itself and delay 
for more input when it receives a partial escape sequence from the user.

That function needs to be refactored so that it can be called with input 
to process and indicate to the caller when it thinks more input is 
pending. In the twisted case that might translate into a callLater() or 
something to handle the "didn't get more input in time" case.

If this is something you'd be able to do, please send patches on this list.
