This is where you are confused I think. There is no way to send data  
to clients if you don't have *any* events on the server. Because how  
would you now to send data if you don't have something telling you to  
do so? You should have a time event, or a network event from another  
client, or a GUI input, or whatever.

It's not totally clear to understand what you're trying to achieve, so  
maybe you want to explain more clearly your problem. I suspect you  
want to use reactor.callLater, to generate a time event.
