This module provides support for Twisted to interact with the glib mainloop via GObject Introspection.
In order to use this support, simply do the following:
from twisted.internet import gireactor
gireactor.install()
If you wish to use a GApplication, register it with the reactor:
from twisted.internet import reactor
reactor.registerGApplication(app)
Then use twisted.internet APIs as usual.
On Python 3, pygobject v3.4 or later is required.
| Class | GIReactor | GObject-introspection event loop reactor. |
| Class | PortableGIReactor | Portable GObject Introspection event loop reactor. |
| Function | install | Configure the twisted mainloop to be run inside the glib mainloop. |
| Variable | _pygtkcompatPresent | Undocumented |
Configure the twisted mainloop to be run inside the glib mainloop.
| Parameters | useGtk | should GTK+ rather than glib event loop be used (this will be slightly slower but does support GUI). |
