[Twisted-Python] Resending a UDP datagram if a response is not received
I am trying to write a client to an existing UDP server that requires a couple of data exchanges before the transaction is complete. Should any of the client's requests go unanswered I would like to resend the request after a timeout period. Perhaps something could be done with reactor.callLater to see if a response had been received but is there a better way to do this? Any pointers/examples would be greatly appreciated. TCP is not an option. Brad

That sounds like just the way to go about it.

You might want to take a look at the retry logic in the DNS client in twisted.names.client. Jean-Paul
