See twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorCore.crash.

Reset reactor state tracking attributes and re-initialize certain state-transition helpers which were set up in __init__ but later destroyed (through use).

def callWhenRunning(self, _callable, *args, **kw): (source)
from twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorCore

See twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorCore.callWhenRunning.

def startRunning(self): (source)

Method called when reactor starts: do some initialization and fire startup events.

Don't call this directly, call reactor.run() instead: it should take care of calling this.

This method is somewhat misnamed. The reactor will not necessarily be in the running state by the time this method returns. The only guarantee is that it will be on its way to the running state.

def _reallyStartRunning(self): (source)

Method called to transition to the running state. This should happen in the during startup event trigger phase.

def callLater(self, _seconds, _f, *args, **kw): (source)
from twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorTime
overridden in twisted.internet._glibbase.GlibReactorBase, twisted.internet._threadedselect.ThreadedSelectReactor, twisted.internet.asyncioreactor.AsyncioSelectorReactor, twisted.internet.cfreactor.CFReactor

def _cancelCallLater(self, tple): (source)
Undocumented
def getDelayedCalls(self): (source)
from twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorTime
overridden in twisted.internet.asyncioreactor.AsyncioSelectorReactor

Return all the outstanding delayed calls in the system. They are returned in no particular order. This method is not efficient -- it is really only meant for test cases.

ReturnsA list of outstanding delayed calls.
def _insertNewDelayedCalls(self): (source)
Undocumented
def timeout(self): (source)

Determine the longest time the reactor may sleep (waiting on I/O notification, perhaps) before it must wake up to service a time-related event.

ReturnsThe maximum number of seconds the reactor may sleep. (type: float)
def runUntilCurrent(self): (source)

Run all pending timed calls.

def _checkProcessArgs(self, args, env): (source)

Check for valid arguments and environment to spawnProcess.

ReturnsA two element tuple giving values to use when creating the process. The first element of the tuple is a list of bytes giving the values for argv of the child process. The second element of the tuple is either None if env was None or a dict mapping bytes environment keys to bytes environment values.
def _initThreads(self): (source)
Undocumented
def callFromThread 0(self, f, *args, **kw): (source)

See twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorFromThreads.callFromThread.

def _initThreadPool(self): (source)

Create the threadpool accessible with callFromThread.

def _uninstallHandler(self): (source)
overridden in twisted.internet.posixbase.PosixReactorBase
Undocumented
def _stopThreadPool(self): (source)

Stop the reactor threadpool. This method is only valid if there is currently a threadpool (created by _initThreadPool). It is not intended to be called directly; instead, it will be called by a shutdown trigger created in _initThreadPool.

def getThreadPool(self): (source)
from twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorThreads

See twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorThreads.getThreadPool.

def callInThread(self, _callable, *args, **kwargs): (source)
from twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorInThreads

See twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorInThreads.callInThread.

def suggestThreadPoolSize(self, size): (source)
from twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorThreads

See twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorThreads.suggestThreadPoolSize.

def callFromThread(self, f, *args, **kw): (source)
from twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorFromThreads
overridden in twisted.internet.asyncioreactor.AsyncioSelectorReactor

Cause a function to be executed by the reactor thread.

Use this method when you want to run a function in the reactor's thread from another thread. Calling callFromThread should wake up the main thread (where reactor.run() is executing) and run the given callable in that thread.

If you're writing a multi-threaded application the callable may need to be thread safe, but this method doesn't require it as such. If you want to call a function in the next mainloop iteration, but you're in the same thread, use callLater with a delay of 0.
