Timed events documentation

Timed events are the standard way to schedule events for later in poezio.

Once created, they must be added to the list of checked events with Core.add_timed_event() (within poezio) or with PluginAPI.add_timed_event() (within a plugin).

class poezio.timed_events.TimedEvent(date: datetime, callback: Callable, *args)[source]

An event with a callback that is called when the specified time is passed.

The callback and its arguments should be passed as the lasts arguments.

__init__(date: datetime, callback: Callable, *args) None[source]

Create a new timed event.

Parameters:
  • date (datetime.datetime) -- Time at which the callback must be run.

  • callback (function) -- The handler that will be executed.

  • args -- Optional arguments passed to the handler.

class poezio.timed_events.DelayedEvent(delay: int | float, callback: Callable, *args)[source]

A TimedEvent, but with the date calculated from now + a delay in seconds. Use it if you want an event to happen in, e.g. 6 seconds.

__init__(delay: int | float, callback: Callable, *args) None[source]

Create a new DelayedEvent.

Parameters:
  • delay (int) -- The number of seconds.

  • callback (function) -- The handler that will be executed.

  • args -- Optional arguments passed to the handler.
