SourceFuncs

SourceFuncs()

Fields

class SourceFuncs

check: Called after all the file descriptors are polled. The source should return True if it is ready to be dispatched. Note that some time may have passed since the previous prepare function was called, so the source should be checked again here. Since 2.36 this may be None, in which case the effect is as if the function always returns False.

dispatch: Called to dispatch the event source, after it has returned True in either its prepare or its check function, or if a ready time has been reached. The dispatch function receives a callback function and user data. The callback function may be None if the source was never connected to a callback using set_callback(). The dispatch function should call the callback function with user_data and whatever additional parameters are needed for this type of event source. The return value of the dispatch function should be SOURCE_REMOVE if the source should be removed or SOURCE_CONTINUE to keep it.

finalize: Called when the source is finalized. At this point, the source will have been destroyed, had its callback cleared, and have been removed from its MainContext, but it will still have its final reference count, so methods can be called on it from within this function.

prepare: Called before all the file descriptors are polled. If the source can determine that it is ready here (without waiting for the results of the poll() call) it should return True. It can also return a @``timeout_`` value which should be the maximum timeout (in milliseconds) which should be passed to the poll() call. The actual timeout used will be -1 if all sources returned -1, or it will be the minimum of all the @``timeout_`` values returned which were >= 0. Since 2.36 this may be None, in which case the effect is as if the function always returns False with a timeout of -1. If prepare returns a timeout and the source also has a ready time set, then the lower of the two will be used.
