def addSystemEventTrigger(self, phase: str, eventType: str, callable: Callable[..., Any], *args: object, **kwargs: object) -> _SystemEventID: (source)

def crash(self): (source)

See twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorCore.crash.

Reset reactor state tracking attributes and re-initialize certain state-transition helpers which were set up in __init__ but later destroyed (through use).

def disconnectAll(self): (source)

Disconnect every reader, and writer in the system.

def doIteration(self, delay: Optional[float]): (source)

Do one iteration over the readers and writers which have been added.

def fireSystemEvent(self, eventType: str): (source)

See twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorCore.fireSystemEvent.

def removeSystemEventTrigger(self, triggerID: _SystemEventID): (source)

See twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorCore.removeSystemEventTrigger.

def resolve(self, name: str, timeout: Sequence[int] = (1, 3, 11, 45)) -> Deferred[str]: (source)

Return a Deferred that will resolve a hostname.

def run(self, installSignalHandlers: bool = True): (source)

Fire 'startup' System Events, move the reactor to the 'running' state, then run the main loop until it is stopped with stop() or crash().

def runUntilCurrent(self): (source)

Run all pending timed calls.

def sigBreak(self, number: int, frame: Optional[FrameType] = None): (source)

Handle a SIGBREAK interrupt.

Parameters
number:intSee handler specification in signal.signal
frame:Optional[FrameType]See handler specification in signal.signal
def sigInt(self, number: int, frame: Optional[FrameType] = None): (source)

Handle a SIGINT interrupt.

Parameters
number:intSee handler specification in signal.signal
frame:Optional[FrameType]See handler specification in signal.signal
def sigTerm(self, number: int, frame: Optional[FrameType] = None): (source)

Handle a SIGTERM interrupt.

Parameters
number:intSee handler specification in signal.signal
frame:Optional[FrameType]See handler specification in signal.signal
def startRunning(self, installSignalHandlers: bool = True): (source)

Method called when reactor starts: do some initialization and fire startup events.

Don't call this directly, call reactor.run() instead: it should take care of calling this.

This method is somewhat misnamed. The reactor will not necessarily be in the running state by the time this method returns. The only guarantee is that it will be on its way to the running state.

Parameters
installSignalHandlers:boolA flag which, if set, indicates that handlers for a number of (implementation-defined) signals should be installed during startup.
def timeout(self) -> Optional[float]: (source)

Determine the longest time the reactor may sleep (waiting on I/O notification, perhaps) before it must wake up to service a time-related event.

Returns
Optional[float]The maximum number of seconds the reactor may sleep.

def _addInternalReader(self, reader: IReadDescriptor): (source)

def _makeSignalHandling(self, installSignalHandlers: bool) -> SignalHandling: (source)

Get an appropriate signal handling object.

SignalHandlingUndocumented
def _reallyStartRunning(self): (source)

def _signalsFactory(self) -> SignalHandling: (source)

def _stopThreadPool(self): (source)

Stop the reactor threadpool. This method is only valid if there is currently a threadpool (created by _initThreadPool). It is not intended to be called directly; instead, it will be called by a shutdown trigger created in _initThreadPool.

_internalReaders: Set[Any] = (source)

Undocumented

_justStopped: bool = (source)

A flag which is true between the time reactor.stop is called and the time the shutdown system event is fired. This is used to determine whether that event should be fired after each iteration through the mainloop. This should be replaced with an explicit state machine.
