[Twisted-Python] LoopingCall(): Threaded or not?

[Steve Freitas]

Hi all,

I'm using twisted.internet.task.LoopingCall() to perform various housekeeping 
chores. One of the things I'm using it for is to clean up stale locks left 
behind by stalled network clients. However, I don't want it cleaning up a 
lock while my other twisted code is executing, as that could introduce a race 
condition. So, my question is whether a LoopingCall() will only run in the 
single thread of execution used for application code, or if it is threaded 
off and could very well be executing at the same time as my own code.

Hope that was clear enough. Thanks!

Steve
