[Twisted-Python] How to run function from protocol class

[Eric Hsu]

AFAIK, the Factory class creates a Protocol instance for each
connection, then if you would like to achieve what you want, you'll
have to do the looping call _inside_ the Protocol class.

So I guess you could try this to see if it works:

class MyClientProtocol(Protocol):
    ...
    def connectionMade(self):
        ...
        l = task.LoopingCall(t.myFunction)
        l.start(5.0)
[snip]

I'm not sure whether we can do this in the __init__(self) method, I
guess that would failed since the protocol's transport instance
haven't even been created during __init__... so it would be much
better to do that inside the connectionMade(self) method.

Hope that helps : )

(sorry for my poor english ;p )
