Instance Methods

[hide private]

__init__(self, label, on_start_item=<__builtin__.function object>, on_finish_item=<__builtin__.function object>)
x.__init__(...) initializes x; see help(type(x)) for signature

source code

interrupt(self)
Raises KeyboardInterrupt in the Task thread, only if it's running something.

source code

stop(self)
Causes the Task thread to stop servicing and terminate after finishing the current item, if any.

source code

do(self, *argv, **kw)
Enqueues argv[0](*argv[1:], **kw).

source code

sync(self)
Waits for any previous do commands to finish before returning.

source code

run(self)
Override this method to make the Task thread do something.

source code

run_one(self)
A function's most recent traceback is kept alive until the function returns (!) When this was part of run(), objects were becoming immortal.

source code

settrace(self, trace=True, logfile=None)

source code

robot_settrace(self, trace, logfile)

source code

trace_func(self, frame, event, arg)

source code

hold_from_task(self, task)
Returns a Robot_Hold context manager.

Method Details

[hide private]

init(self, label, on_start_item=<builtin.function object>, on_finish_item=<builtin.function object>)
(Constructor)

source code

x.__init__(...) initializes x; see help(type(x)) for signature

Overrides: object.__init__: (inherited documentation)

interrupt(self)

source code

Raises KeyboardInterrupt in the Task thread, only if it's running something.

Overrides: Task.interrupt

do(self, *argv, **kw)

source code

Enqueues argv[0](*argv[1:], **kw). For example:

>>> myRobot.do(sys.stdout.write, 'Hello world')

causes this to happen in the Task thread:

>>> sys.stdout.write('Hello world')

run(self)

source code

Override this method to make the Task thread do something.

Overrides: Task.run: (inherited documentation)
