What, like this?
(lambda
r,p,b:(r.listenTCP(6665,(type('F',(p.Factory,object),{'protocol':(type('P',(b.LineReceiver,object),{'connectionMade':lambda
s:s.factory.c.append(s),'lineReceived':lambda
s,m:(s.factory.m(m),None)[1]})),'c':[],'m':lambda s,m:[c.sendLine(m)for c in
s.c]}))()),r.run()))(*(lambda
p,i:(i(p,'reactor'),i(p,'protocol'),i('twisted.protocols.','basic')))('twisted.internet.',lambda
a,b:__import__(a+b,None,None,b)))
OTOH, maybe that's still trivial, it's only a multiuser network chat server,
after all.
