twisted.internet.cfreactor module documentation

Part of twisted.internet View Source

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.

ParametersrunLoopthe run loop to use.
runnerthe 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()
ReturnsThe installed reactor. (type: CFReactor)
