In the process of exploring my options for deploying twisted applications on Windows, I noticed that when running the application, _twistw (line 43) also starts a TimerService around a no-op:
app.startApplication(internet.TimerService(0.1, lambda:None), 0)
I suppose there is very good reason to do so, but I do not see it. Can somebody enlighten me?
There should be a comment or something to this effect, but:
On Windows, the "signal" handling that Control-c triggers doesn't actually interrupt select(). That timer is there to keep the timeout low so that the server responds in a timely fashion when the user hits Control-c on the console, even if nothing else is happening.
