I'm curious what would happen if two separate reactor callLater() methods were executed on two separate functions (we'll call them a() and b()) ... such that a() and b() would be scheduled to run at the same exact moment. How would Twisted handled such a situation? Is there such a thing as callLater() "collision" even if the probability of such collission is quite low?
After some investigating, it seems that, if they were scheduled to be run at precisely the same instant (i.e., their delayedCall.time values were equivalent), they would be run in the order OPPOSITE than the order that the callLater calls happened. There is no "collision", they're just run in sequence. Twisted is not a hard real-time system. :-) -- Twisted | Christopher Armstrong: International Man of Twistery Radix | Release Manager, Twisted Project ---------+ http://radix.twistedmatrix.com
