<p class="MsoNormal">Some background:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have implemented a “relative frequency scheduler”.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Tasks added to it are run with frequencies relative to one another – basically, if tasks 1-3 have relative frequencies of 1,2, and 3 respectively, then task 2 is run 1/2 as often as task 1, and task 3 is run 1/3 as often.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The tasks are all generators, so each iteration of the scheduler yields one item from one of its scheduled generators.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The scheduler will also run tasks on both a periodic basis (ie.run this task every X other tasks), as well as running tasks on a timed basis (ie. every X seconds).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’d like to use twisted in the same program to do some network I/O as well as database interaction.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I did a small test with adding a task that calls both: reactor.doIteration(0) and reactor.runUntilCurrent() to my scheduler, and that seems to run both the network I/O, and the database interactions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was wondering if there were other issues with this type of setup?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I can’t find any examples online of using other schedulers with twisted.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I glanced briefly at t.i.task.Cooperator, but I don’t really need deferreds for any of the CPU stuff, and I’m not really sure how I could replace its scheduler with a non-reactor based one.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for any insight,<o:p></o:p></p>
