I'm building some Twisted/Klein services for some command-line tools I am writing and I would like to use systemd's socket units. To do that, I would need to accept the socket via a file descriptor when the application starts and pass that socket to Twisted so that it can listen on that socket. Is this possible?

Yes, this is definitely possible. In fact, an entire chapter within the Twisted documentation is dedicated to systemd; you should read it.

[This](https://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/core/howto/systemd.html#limitations) section states that twisted cannot accept UNIX domain sockets from systemd... Is that still true, or just outdated documentation? – Deven Phillips Feb 24 '16 at 19:51

It is, sadly, still accurate. It looks like someone started to contribute the fix, but it was stalled. Perhaps you could respond to the code review and get it integrated? https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/5573 – Glyph Feb 26 '16 at 08:55
