Problem with Python Callback Timer Class

[briansykes]

Hi there, i'm receiving an error from python when i try to use a callback timer class i get the TypeError: 'module' object is not callable, The class is below along with the callback function it's supposed to call and the main function.

ttimer class:

class ttimer():

def __init__(self, interval, retry, cbfunc, cbparam=[]):
self.is_start=False
self.is_end=False

# doing my thread stuff now.
thread.start_new_thread(self._callback,(interval,r etry,cbfunc,cbparam,))

def Start(self):
self.mytime=time.time()
self.is_start=True
self.is_end=False

def Stop(self):
self.mytime=time.time()
self.is_start=False
self.is_end=True

def IsStop(self):
if self.is_end:
return True
else:
return False

def _callback(self,interval,retry,cbfunc,cbparam=[]):
""" This is the private thread loop, call start() to start the threading timer."""
self.retry=retry
retry=0

if self.is_end:
return None

while True:
if self.is_end:
break
if self.retry==-1:
pass
elif retry>=self.retry:
break

if self.is_start:
#check time
tmptime=time.time()
if tmptime >=(self.mytime + interval):
cbfunc(cbparam) # callback your function
self.mytime=time.time()
retry+=1
else:
pass
time.sleep(0.01)

self.is_end=True


dummy_cb and main:

def dummy_cbf(param=[]):
print "hello %-12s %s" % (param[0], time.strftime("%H:%M:%S"))


def main(argv=None):
print "Enter quit to exit"
timer =ttimer (0.5, 5, dummy_cbf, ["linux"])
timer.Start()

while 1:
time.sleep(0.001)
cmd=raw_input()
if cmd=="quit":
timer.Stop()
if timer.IsStop():
sys.exit(0)
else:
print "Enter quit to exit"

The interpreter says its on this line in the main function:


timer =ttimer (0.5, 5, dummy_cbf, ["linux"])

I do not get any errors when I run your (incomplete) code.

However, I did not get the desired effect because of a bug, that apparently stems from Pythons idiotic indentation policies.



def _callback(self,interval,retry,cbfunc,cbparam=[]):
...
if self.is_end:
return None

while True:
if self.is_end:
break
if self.retry==-1:
pass
...

Note how the while-loop is part of the if-block. I bet that is not what you wanted.

P.S. In the future, please post complete code. That means, include all statements necessary for the program to run.
