Undocumented
def addReader(self, reader): (source)

def addWriter(self, writer): (source)

Add a FileDescriptor for notification of data available to write.

Remove a Selectable for notification of data available to read.

def removeWriter(self, writer): (source)

Remove a Selectable for notification of data available to write.

def removeAll(self): (source)

Remove all readers and writers.

Should not remove reactor internal reactor connections (like a waker).

ReturnsA list of IReadDescriptor and IWriteDescriptor providers which were removed.
def getReaders(self): (source)

Return the list of file descriptors currently monitored for input events by the reactor.

Returnsthe list of file descriptors monitored for input events. (type: list of IReadDescriptor)
def getWriters(self): (source)

Return the list file descriptors currently monitored for output events by the reactor.

Returnsthe list of file descriptors monitored for output events. (type: list of IWriteDescriptor)
def stop(self): (source)

Extend the base stop implementation to also wake up the select thread so that runUntilCurrent notices the reactor should stop.

def run(self, installSignalHandlers=True): (source)

Fire 'startup' System Events, move the reactor to the 'running' state, then run the main loop until it is stopped with stop() or crash().
