t.i.t.CooperativeTask(object) : class documentation

Part of twisted.internet.task View Source View In Hierarchy

A CooperativeTask is a task object inside a Cooperator, which can be paused, resumed, and stopped. It can also have its completion (or termination) monitored.
Instance Variables_iteratorthe iterator to iterate when this CooperativeTask is asked to do work.
_cooperatorthe Cooperator that this CooperativeTask participates in, which is used to re-insert it upon resume.
_deferredsthe list of defer.Deferreds to fire when this task completes, fails, or finishes. (type: list )
_pauseCountthe number of times that this CooperativeTask has been paused; if 0, it is running. (type: int )
_completionStateThe completion-state of this CooperativeTask. None if the task is not yet completed, an instance of TaskStopped if stop was called to stop this task early, of TaskFailed if the application code in the iterator raised an exception which caused it to terminate, and of TaskDone if it terminated normally via raising StopIteration. (type: TaskFinished )
See AlsoCooperativeTask.cooperate
Method __init__ A private constructor: to create a new CooperativeTask, see Cooperator.cooperate.
Method whenDone Get a defer.Deferred notification of when this task is complete.
Method pause No summary
Method resume Resume processing of a paused CooperativeTask.
Method stop Stop further processing of this task.
Method _completeWith
Method _checkFinish If this task has been stopped, raise the appropriate subclass of TaskFinished.
Method _oneWorkUnit Perform one unit of work for this task, retrieving one item from its iterator, stopping if there are no further items in the iterator, and pausing if the result was a defer.Deferred.
def __init__(self, iterator, cooperator): (source)
A private constructor: to create a new CooperativeTask, see Cooperator.cooperate.
def whenDone(self): (source)
Get a defer.Deferred notification of when this task is complete.
Returnsa defer.Deferred that fires with the iterator that this CooperativeTask was created with when the iterator has been exhausted (i.e. its next method has raised StopIteration), or fails with the exception raised by next if it raises some other exception. (type: defer.Deferred )
def pause(self): (source)
Pause this CooperativeTask. Stop doing work until CooperativeTask.resume is called. If pause is called more than once, resume must be called an equal number of times to resume this task.
RaisesTaskFinishedif this task has already finished or completed.
def resume(self): (source)
Resume processing of a paused CooperativeTask.
RaisesNotPausedif this CooperativeTask is not paused.
def _completeWith(self, completionState, deferredResult): (source)
ParameterscompletionStatea TaskFinished exception or a subclass thereof, indicating what exception should be raised when subsequent operations are performed.
deferredResultthe result to fire all the deferreds with.
def stop(self): (source)
Stop further processing of this task.
RaisesTaskFinishedif this CooperativeTask has previously completed, via stop, completion, or failure.
def _checkFinish(self): (source)
If this task has been stopped, raise the appropriate subclass of TaskFinished.
def _oneWorkUnit(self): (source)
Perform one unit of work for this task, retrieving one item from its iterator, stopping if there are no further items in the iterator, and pausing if the result was a defer.Deferred.
