twisted._threads.IWorker(Interface) interface documentationtwisted._threads
(View In Hierarchy)
Known subclasses: twisted._threads._ithreads.IExclusiveWorker
A worker that can perform some work concurrently.
All methods on this interface must be thread-safe.
| Method | do | Perform the given task. |
| Method | quit | Free any resources associated with this IWorker and cause it
to reject all future work. |
Perform the given task.
As an interface, this method makes no specific claims about concurrent
execution. An IWorker's
do implementation may defer execution for later on the same
thread, immediately on a different thread, or some combination of the two.
It is valid for a do method to schedule task in
such a way that it may never be executed.
It is important for some implementations to provide specific properties
with respect to where task is executed, of course, and client
code may rely on a more specific implementation of do than IWorker.
| Parameters | task | a task to call in a thread or other concurrent context. (type: 0-argument callable) |
| Raises | AlreadyQuit | if quit has been called. |
Free any resources associated with this IWorker and cause it
to reject all future work.
| Raises | AlreadyQuit if
this method has already been called. | |
