twisted.internet.cfreactor : API documentation

A reactor for integrating with CFRunLoop, the CoreFoundation main loop used by MacOS X.

This is useful for integrating Twisted with PyObjC applications.

Class	CFReactor	The CoreFoundation reactor.
Function	install	Configure the twisted mainloop to be run inside CFRunLoop.
Class	_WakerPlus	The normal Twisted waker will simply wake up the main loop, which causes an iteration to run, which in turn causes `ReactorBase.runUntilCurrent` to get invoked.

def install(runLoop=None, runner=None): (source)

Configure the twisted mainloop to be run inside CFRunLoop.

Parameters	runLoop	the run loop to use.
	runner	the function to call in order to actually invoke the main loop. This will default to `CFRunLoopRun` if not specified. However, this is not an appropriate choice for GUI applications, as you need to run NSApplicationMain (or something like it). For example, to run the Twisted mainloop in a PyObjC application, your `main.py` should look something like this: from PyObjCTools import AppHelper from twisted.internet.cfreactor import install install(runner=AppHelper.runEventLoop) # initialize your application reactor.run()
Returns	The installed reactor. (type: `CFReactor`)
