Scheduleing Example Doesn't work as expected

[maethor]

The task.LoopingCall example found here
http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/howto/time doesn't behave as expected (well,
from a newbie standpoint at anyway).

Seeing as no output is given in the example, it's impossible for a new user to
know exactly what to expect, but I would have thought that "a second has passed"
would be printed out every second (it's what the example implies to me at
least). Instead I get the following:

a second has passed
<Deferred at 0x9bef80>
>>>

And then nothing else. When run from a script it just prints a second has passed
and then quits. This happend on both Linux and Windows running Python 2.3.

Could the documentation be updated to show what the output is suppossed to be,
and assuming that printing "a second has passed" and then coming to complete
stop is the expected behaviour of the example, would it be possible to have an
example that does actually print out "a second has passed" every second?

You need to call reactor.run(). The howto in svn shows the examples using
reactor.run().
