Deferred.setTimeout is a poor API and is deprecated (despite what the automatically generated API docs think). <http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/178> has some discussion (and links to more discussion) explaining what's wrong with it, and what a good replacement would look like. So please, don't use setTimeout, and definitely do not recommend it to others! -Andrew. _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
