I did read the source that a)LoopingCall is implemented via calllater's b)internet.TimerService is a big wrapper around loopingcall I've probably simplified it too much but what then is the difference? thank you Saptarshi Guha On Oct 2, 2007, at 7:47 PM, Saptarshi Guha wrote:
Hello, Thanks for twisted - very useful. Now, my questions I have written a server which accepts connections from clients, takes requests and adds them to a Queue (a python object of Queue.Queue). Now i have two approaches
a) At startup, my server(a subclass of pb.Root) runs a "dispatcher" function using task.LoopingCall(dispatcher).start(0.1) b)Create a separate subclass of internet.TimerService whose function is dispatcher
[INFO: dispatcher has methods like obj.callRemote, addCallback and addErrback]
So which is better, neater, safer? loopingcall of timerservice? also is it safe to do the calls mentioned in INFO within dispatcher?
Thank you for your time and help.
