t.i.t.LoopingCall : class documentation

Call a function repeatedly.

If f returns a deferred, rescheduling will not take place until the deferred has fired. The result value is ignored.

Instance Variables	f	The function to call.
	a	A tuple of arguments to pass the function.
	kw	A dictionary of keyword arguments to pass to the function.
	clock	A provider of `twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorTime`. The default is `twisted.internet.reactor`. Feel free to set this to something else, but it probably ought to be set before calling `start`.
	_lastTime	The time at which this instance most recently scheduled itself to run. (type: `float` )

Method	__init__	Undocumented
Method	start	Start running function every interval seconds.
Method	stop	Stop running function.
Method	__call__	Undocumented
Method	__repr__	Undocumented
Method	_reschedule	Schedule the next iteration of this looping call.

def __init__(self, f, *a, **kw): (source)

Undocumented

def start(self, interval, now=True): (source)

Start running function every interval seconds.

Parameters	interval	The number of seconds between calls. May be less than one. Precision will depend on the underlying platform, the available hardware, and the load on the system.
	now	If True, run this call right now. Otherwise, wait until the interval has elapsed before beginning.
Returns	A Deferred whose callback will be invoked with `self` when `self.stop` is called, or whose errback will be invoked when the function raises an exception or returned a deferred that has its errback invoked.

def stop(self): (source)

Stop running function.

def __call__(self): (source)

Undocumented

def _reschedule(self): (source)

Schedule the next iteration of this looping call.

def __repr__(self): (source)

Undocumented
