twisted.application.internet.TimerService : API documentation

Instance Variable	clock	Source of time. This defaults to `None` which is causes `twisted.internet.reactor` to be used. Feel free to set this to something else, but it probably ought to be set before calling `startService`. (type: `IReactorTime`)
Instance Variable	call	Function and arguments to call periodically. (type: `tuple` of `(callable, args, kwargs)`)
Method	__init__
Method	startService	Start the service.
Method	stopService	Stop the service.
Method	_failed	Undocumented

Inherited from _VolatileDataService:

Method

__getstate__

Undocumented

Inherited from Service (via _VolatileDataService):

Method	setName	Set the name of the service.
Method	setServiceParent	Set the parent of the service. This method is responsible for setting the `parent` attribute on this service (the child service).
Method	disownServiceParent	Use this API to remove an `IService` from an `IServiceCollection`.
Method	privilegedStartService	Do preparation work for starting the service.

clock =

Source of time. This defaults to None which is causes twisted.internet.reactor to be used. Feel free to set this to something else, but it probably ought to be set *before* calling startService. (type: IReactorTime)

call =

Function and arguments to call periodically. (type: tuple of (callable, args, kwargs))

def __init__(self, step, callable, *args, **kwargs): (source)

overridden in twisted.mail.mail.FileMonitoringService

Parameters	step	The number of seconds between calls. (type: `float`)
	callable	Function to call (type: `callable`)
	args	Positional arguments to pass to function
	kwargs	Keyword arguments to pass to function

def startService(self): (source)

from twisted.application.service.IService

overrides twisted.application.service.Service.startService

overridden in twisted.mail.mail.FileMonitoringService

Start the service.

def _failed(self, why): (source)

Undocumented

def stopService(self): (source)

from twisted.application.service.IService

overrides twisted.application.service.Service.stopService

overridden in twisted.mail.mail.FileMonitoringService

Stop the service.

Returns a Deferred which is fired when the currently running call (if any) is finished. (type: Deferred)
