def _unregisterFDInAsyncio(self, fd): (source)

Compensate for a bug in asyncio where it will not unregister a FD that it cannot handle in the epoll loop. It touches internal asyncio code.

A description of the bug by markrwilliams:

The add_writer method of asyncio event loops isn't atomic because all the Selector classes in the selector module internally record a file object before passing it to the platform's selector implementation. If the platform's selector decides the file object isn't acceptable, the resulting exception doesn't cause the Selector to un-track the file object.

The failing/hanging stdio test goes through the following sequence of events (roughly):

* The first connection.write(intToByte(value)) call hits the asyncio reactor's addWriter method.

* addWriter calls the asyncio loop's add_writer method, which happens to live on _BaseSelectorEventLoop.

* The asyncio loop's add_writer method checks if the file object has been registered before via the selector's get_key method.

* It hasn't, so the KeyError block runs and calls the selector's register method

* Code examples that follow use EpollSelector, but the code flow holds true for any other selector implementation. The selector's register method first calls through to the next register method in the MRO

* That next method is always _BaseSelectorImpl.register which creates a SelectorKey instance for the file object, stores it under the file object's file descriptor, and then returns it.

* Control returns to the concrete selector implementation, which asks the operating system to track the file descriptor using the right API.

* The operating system refuses! An exception is raised that, in this case, the asyncio reactor handles by creating a _ContinuousPolling object to watch the file descriptor.

* The second connection.write(intToByte(value)) call hits the asyncio reactor's addWriter method, which hits the add_writer method. But the loop's selector's get_key method now returns a SelectorKey! Now the asyncio reactor's addWriter method thinks the asyncio loop will watch the file descriptor, even though it won't.

ReturnsNone.
def removeReader(self, reader): (source)

Removes an object previously added with addReader.

ReturnsNone.
def removeWriter(self, writer): (source)

Removes an object previously added with addWriter.

ReturnsNone.
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 getDelayedCalls(self): (source)

Return all the outstanding delayed calls in the system. They are returned in no particular order. This method is not efficient -- it is really only meant for test cases.

ReturnsA list of outstanding delayed calls.
def iterate(self, timeout): (source)

See twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorCore.iterate.

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().

def stop(self): (source)

See twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorCore.stop.

def crash(self): (source)

See twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorCore.crash.

Reset reactor state tracking attributes and re-initialize certain state-transition helpers which were set up in __init__ but later destroyed (through use).

def seconds(self): (source)

Get the current time in seconds.

ReturnsA number-like object of some sort.
def callLater(self, seconds, f, *args, **kwargs): (source)

See twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorTime.callLater.

def callFromThread(self, f, *args, **kwargs): (source)

Cause a function to be executed by the reactor thread.

Use this method when you want to run a function in the reactor's thread from another thread. Calling callFromThread should wake up the main thread (where reactor.run() is executing) and run the given callable in that thread.

If you're writing a multi-threaded application the callable may need to be thread safe, but this method doesn't require it as such. If you want to call a function in the next mainloop iteration, but you're in the same thread, use callLater with a delay of 0.
