[Twisted-Python] flushing data to clients after a global variable is updated in server

[Jessica Tsui]

Hi, it's me again. I am still working on the kivy app, and now I am trying
to add a function to the app - the server side has two seconds to decide if
he wants to alter the original data sent from one client to other clients.
If he would like to do so, he has to press a button. If he does not press
the button in 2 seconds, the original data will be sent to other clients
automatically.

Right now I am trying to achieve that with the following code - by calling
the MultiClientEcho().dataReceived(msg, "censored") line in the function as
if MultiClientEcho received another data, however once i click the button,
the program crashed and said (MultiClientEcho().dataReceived(msg,
"censored")
 TypeError: __init__() takes exactly 3 arguments (1 given))

I wonder how can I fix this and achieve the function I am aiming at?
