A Twisted Python class for parallel execution of functions, returning the first available result.

NOTE: This code is now hosted on Github at https://github.com/terrycojones/txdpce

txdpce provides a Twisted Python class, DeferredParallelCommandExecutor. It allows you to register competing functions that compute a result. The execute method of the class calls them all one after another and returns a Deferred that will fire with the first success. The deferreds corresponding to the incomplete function calls are cancelled. If all functions fail, the deferred errs with a list of the failures.

The point is that you might have a couple of ways of getting a result (out of a cache, off the network) and you want to try them all, taking the answer from the first one that figures it out.
