The function you're looping over returns a Deferred that never fires. The LoopingCall isn't stopped, it's waiting for the Deferred. >What can I do to get the exception logged and then everything handled >sanely such that the looping call can continue and my lopp function >will keep getting called once every second rather than stopping? When you do reactor.callLater(n, f), you put f into an execution context where the only thing that will happen to exceptions it raises is that they will be logged. If you want something else to happen to the exception, then you have to arrange for that. You can do this by wrapping f with another function that handles the exception and sends it where you want. Or you can use twisted.internet.task.deferLater, which probably does something pretty close to what you want.
