"""
This module provides support for Twisted to interact with the glib mainloop.
This is like gtk2, but slightly faster and does not require a working
$DISPLAY. However, you cannot run GUIs under this reactor: for that you must
use the gtk2reactor instead.

In order to use this support, simply do the following::

    from twisted.internet import glib2reactor
    glib2reactor.install()

Then use twisted.internet APIs as usual.  The other methods here are not
intended to be called directly.
