def cooperate(iterator): (source)

Start running the given iterator as a long-running cooperative task, by calling next() on it as a periodic timed event.

Parameters	iterator	the iterator to invoke.
Returns	a `CooperativeTask` object representing this task.

def deferLater(clock, delay, callable, *args, **kw): (source)

Call the given function after a certain period of time has passed.

Parameters	clock	The object which will be used to schedule the delayed call. (type: `IReactorTime` provider )
	delay	The number of seconds to wait before calling the function. (type: `float` or `int` )
	callable	The object to call after the delay.
	*args	The positional arguments to pass to `callable`.
	**kw	The keyword arguments to pass to `callable`.
Returns	A deferred that fires with the result of the callable when the specified time has elapsed. (type: `defer.Deferred` )
