This shows you're not using the Twisted reactor, but the built-in 
peak.events EventLoop class in peak.events.io_events.  Evidently you're 
scheduling things with the Twisted reactor directly, but the EventLoop 
doesn't know anything about it.

You need to have a component that either depends on 
'running.ITwistedReactor' or calls 'events.makeTwisted()' on itself at 
component assembly time.


Example:

class MyAppClass(binding.Component):

     reactor = binding.Obtain(running.ITwistedReactor, uponAssembly=True)

As long as an instance of this class is assembled before you use the 
default EventLoop, your code will be switched to an EventLoop that uses the 
Twisted reactor.  (EventLoop in peak.events.twisted_support.)
