I wrote the below code

    from twisted.application.service import Service
    old_startService = Service.startService
    old_stopService = Service.stopService
    def startService(self):
        assert (not self.running)
        return old_startService(self)
    def stopService(self):
        assert self.running
        return old_stopService(self)
    Service.startService = startService
    Service.stopService = stopService
    if ((twisted.version.major <= 9) and (sys.version_info[:2] == (2, 7))):
        def nopatch(self, *args):
            raise unittest.SkipTest('unittest.TestCase.patch    is    not    available')
        unittest.TestCase.patch = nopatch
