class EventLoop:
- r"""EventLoop(file[, handler]) -> EventLoop instance
+ r"""EventLoop(file[, timer[, handler[, timer_handler]]]) -> EventLoop.
This class implements a simple event loop based on select module.
It "listens" to activity a single 'file' object (a file, a pipe,
function (or the handle() method if you prefer subclassing) every
time the file is ready for reading (or has an error).
+ If a 'timer' is supplied, then the timer_handler() function object
+ (or the handle_timer() method) is called every 'timer' seconds.
+
This is a really simple example of usage using a hanlder callable:
- >>> import os
+ >>> import os
>>> def handle(event_loop):
data = os.read(event_loop.fileno, 100)
os.write(1, 'Received message: %r\n' % data)
>>> self.stop()
>>> else:
>>> os.write(1, 'Received message: %r\n' % data)
- >>> p = Test(0)
+ >>> def handle_timer(self):
+ >>> print time.strftime('%c')
+ >>> p = Test(0, timer=5)
>>> p.loop()
This example loops until the user enters a single "q", when stop()
is called and the event loop is exited.
