</div>Deferred.setTimeout is a poor API and is deprecated (despite what the<br>

<div><br></div><div>This will act like an async 'sleep' if its result is yielded from an @inlineCallbacks function.</div><div><br></div></div></blockquote><div><br>I looked at deferLater, but am not using it right now. The sleep function I am using is basically the same as this - in my case "sleep" turned out to be a little simpler because I don't have to create and pass the clock around. But I will probably use deferLater for this same purpose in the future as well.<br>
