Instance Variable _stopped A flag which is true between paired calls to reactor.run and reactor.stop. This should be replaced with an explicit state machine.
Instance Variable _justStopped A flag which is true between the time reactor.stop is called and the time the shutdown system event is fired. This is used to determine whether that event should be fired after each iteration through the mainloop. This should be replaced with an explicit state machine.

Instance Variable _registerAsIOThread A flag controlling whether the reactor will register the thread it is running in as the I/O thread when it starts. If True, registration will be done, otherwise it will not be.

_stopped = (source)

(type: bool)
_justStopped = (source)
A flag which is true between the time reactor.stop is called and the time the shutdown system event is fired. This is used to determine whether that event should be fired after each iteration through the mainloop. This should be replaced with an explicit state machine.
(type: bool)
_started = (source)
A flag which is true from the time reactor.run is called until the time reactor.run returns. This is used to prevent calls to reactor.run on a running reactor. This should be replaced with an explicit state machine.
(type: bool)
_registerAsIOThread = (source)
A flag controlling whether the reactor will register the thread it is running in as the I/O thread when it starts. If True, registration will be done, otherwise it will not be.

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 startRunning(self): (source)

Method called when reactor starts: do some initialization and fire startup events.

Don't call this directly, call reactor.run() instead: it should take care of calling this.

This method is somewhat misnamed. The reactor will not necessarily be in the running state by the time this method returns. The only guarantee is that it will be on its way to the running state.

def _reallyStartRunning(self): (source)

Method called to transition to the running state. This should happen in the during startup event trigger phase.

ParametersdelayedCallUndocumented (type: DelayedCall)
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. (type: List[IDelayedCall])
def _insertNewDelayedCalls(self): (source)

Undocumented

def timeout(self): (source)

Determine the longest time the reactor may sleep (waiting on I/O notification, perhaps) before it must wake up to service a time-related event.

ReturnsThe maximum number of seconds the reactor may sleep. (type: Optional[float])
def runUntilCurrent(self): (source)

Run all pending timed calls.

def _checkProcessArgs(self, args, env): (source)

Check for valid arguments and environment to spawnProcess.

ParametersargsUndocumented (type: List[Union[bytes, str]])
envUndocumented (type: Optional[Mapping[AnyStr, AnyStr]])
ReturnsA two element tuple giving values to use when creating the process. The first element of the tuple is a list of bytes giving the values for argv of the child process. The second element of the tuple is either None if env was None or a dict mapping bytes environment keys to bytes environment values. (type: Union[Tuple[List[bytes], Optional[Dict[bytes, bytes]]], Tuple[List[Union[bytes, str]], Optional[Mapping[AnyStr, AnyStr]]]])

def _stopThreadPool(self): (source)

Stop the reactor threadpool. This method is only valid if there is currently a threadpool (created by _initThreadPool). It is not intended to be called directly; instead, it will be called by a shutdown trigger created in _initThreadPool.
