I have been using Twisted for years but only recently began to use inlineCallbacks (couldn't give up Python 2.4 support until recently). This simple asynch. sleep function is fantastic. Just today I used to it with inlineCallbacks to dramatically clean up some complex deferred logic. Thanks, Brian On Wed, Oct 7, 2009 at 8:28 PM, Andrew Bennetts <andrew@bemusement.org>wrote:

Paul's example will work just fine. Also, AFAIK there's no existing twisted function to do replicate an asynchronous sleep() in this way.

What about Deferred.setTimeout? [2] http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/api/twisted.internet.defer.Deferr... IMHO it solves similar problem.
Deferred.setTimeout is a poor API and is deprecated (despite what the automatically generated API docs think). <http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/178> has some discussion (and links to more discussion) explaining what's wrong with it, and what a good replacement would look like.
So please, don't use setTimeout, and definitely do not recommend it to others!
