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)

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

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)

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

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.
