twisted.internet.base.DelayedCall : API documentation

Method	__init__	No summary
Method	getTime	Return the time at which this call will fire
Method	cancel	Unschedule this call
Method	reset	Reschedule this call for a different time
Method	delay	Reschedule this call for a later time
Method	activate_delay	Undocumented
Method	active	Determine whether this call is still pending
Method	__le__	Implement `<=` operator between two `DelayedCall` instances.
Method	__lt__	Implement `<` operator between two `DelayedCall` instances.
Method	__str__	Undocumented

def __init__(self, time, func, args, kw, cancel, reset, seconds=runtimeSeconds): (source)

Parameters	time	Seconds from the epoch at which to call `func`.
	func	The callable to call.
	args	The positional arguments to pass to the callable.
	kw	The keyword arguments to pass to the callable.
	cancel	A callable which will be called with this DelayedCall before cancellation.
	reset	A callable which will be called with this DelayedCall after changing this DelayedCall's scheduled execution time. The callable should adjust any necessary scheduling details to ensure this DelayedCall is invoked at the new appropriate time.
	seconds	If provided, a no-argument callable which will be used to determine the current time any time that information is needed.

def getTime(self): (source)

Return the time at which this call will fire

Returns The number of seconds after the epoch at which this call is scheduled to be made. (type: float)

def cancel(self): (source)

Unschedule this call

Raises	AlreadyCancelled	Raised if this call has already been unscheduled.
	AlreadyCalled	Raised if this call has already been made.

def reset(self, secondsFromNow): (source)

Reschedule this call for a different time

Parameters	secondsFromNow	The number of seconds from the time of the `reset` call at which this call will be scheduled. (type: `float`)
Raises	AlreadyCancelled	Raised if this call has been cancelled.
	AlreadyCalled	Raised if this call has already been made.

def delay(self, secondsLater): (source)

Reschedule this call for a later time

Parameters	secondsLater	The number of seconds after the originally scheduled time for which to reschedule this call. (type: `float`)
Raises	AlreadyCancelled	Raised if this call has been cancelled.
	AlreadyCalled	Raised if this call has already been made.

def active(self): (source)

Determine whether this call is still pending

Returns True if this call has not yet been made or cancelled, False otherwise. (type: bool)

def __le__(self, other): (source)

Implement <= operator between two DelayedCall instances.

Comparison is based on the time attribute (unadjusted by the delayed time).

def __lt__(self, other): (source)

Implement < operator between two DelayedCall instances.

Comparison is based on the time attribute (unadjusted by the delayed time).
