| Instance Variables | _stopped | A flag which is true between paired calls to reactor.runandreactor.stop.  This should be replaced with an explicit 
state machine.
 (type:bool) | 
| _justStopped | A flag which is true between the time reactor.stopis 
called and the time the shutdown system event is fired.  This is used to 
determine whether that event should be fired after each iteration through 
the mainloop.  This should be replaced with an explicit state machine.
 (type:bool) | |
| _started | A flag which is true from the time reactor.runis called 
until the timereactor.runreturns.  This is used to prevent 
calls toreactor.runon a running reactor.  This should be 
replaced with an explicit state machine.

Reset reactor state tracking attributes and re-initialize certain state-transition helpers which were set up in__init__ but 
later destroyed (through use).
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.| Returns | A two element tuple giving values to use when creating the process.  The
first element of the tuple is a listofstrgiving the values for argv of the child process.  The second element of the
tuple is eitherNoneifenvwasNoneor adictmappingstrenvironment keys tostrenvironment values. | |
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.
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.
