This doesn't sound accurate to me. If your reactor is constantly doing I/O, the timed call in question will be called when the appropriate amount of time has passed. Select does not "time out"; it just returns some result. If it is returning purely do to the passage of time, then the result will be empty, but Twisted doesn't treat that type of result specially. Can you provide a short, sample program which demonstrates the behavior you're talking about? _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
