Hi Brian,
In general, please reply on this list inline, with quoting and
trimming, like so:

This might seem like a minor thing, but it really helps those of us
who have to follow long discussions and many mailing lists.
Now, on to the main point of your message:

I have been using Twisted for years but only recently began to use
inlineCallbacks (couldn't give up Python 2.4 support until

today I used to it with inlineCallbacks to dramatically clean up
some complex deferred logic.
Which asynch sleep function?
I hope you're not talking about this stuff, quoted in your message:

Please note spiv's reply:
Deferred.setTimeout is a poor API and is deprecated (despite what the
automatically generated API docs think).
and his recommendation:
So please, don't use setTimeout, and definitely do not recommend it
to others!
I hope that, instead, you're talking about the deferLater function
that was introduced in Twisted 8.0?

This will act like an async 'sleep' if its result is yielded from an
@inlineCallbacks function.
