efl.ecore.Timer
Class¶efl.ecore.
Timer
(double interval, func, *args, **kargs)¶Bases: efl.eo.Eo
This class represents a timer that will call the given func
every
interval
seconds. The function will be passed any extra
parameters given to constructor.
When the timer func
is called, it must return a value of either
True or False (remember that Python returns None if no value is
explicitly returned and None evaluates to False). If it returns
True, it will be called again at the next interval, or if it returns
False it will be deleted automatically making any references/handles
for it invalid.
Timers should be stopped/deleted by means of delete()
or
returning False from func
, otherwise they’ll continue alive, even
if the current python context delete it’s reference to it.
