#1438: update the dependency on Twisted to >= 10.1
------------------------+----------------------------
 Reporter:  davidsarah  |          Owner:  davidsarah
     Type:  defect      |         Status:  new
 Priority:  major       |      Milestone:  1.9.0
Component:  packaging   |        Version:  1.8.2
 Keywords:              |  Launchpad Bug:
------------------------+----------------------------
 There are three reasons to update the Twisted requirement to >= 10.1:
  * it would fix our indirect dependency on pywin32 on Windows when using
 Twisted < 9.0 (#1274)
  * it would ensure that the {{{twisted.internet.inotify}}} package is
 available for use by the drop-upload feature on Linux (#1429)
  * it would make the FTP server work without users potentially having to
 patch Twisted (see http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/3462 and
 [source:docs/frontends/FTP-and-SFTP.rst at 5036#dependencies]).

 I'm splitting this into its own ticket so that it can be reviewed and
 discussed separately (I'd previously bundled the update into the patch to
 fix #1435).
