<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 577808 by <a href="/recipes/users/4178764/">Giampaolo Rodolà</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/asynchronous/">asynchronous</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/asyncore/">asyncore</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/heapq/">heapq</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/nonblocking/">nonblocking</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/scheduler/">scheduler</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/twisted/">twisted</a>). Revision 5. </p> <p>The thing I miss mostly in asyncore is a system for calling a function after a certain amount of time without blocking. This is crucial for simple tasks such as disconnecting a peer after a certain time of inactivity or more advanced use cases such as <a href="http://code.google.com/p/pyftpdlib/source/browse/tags/release-0.6.0/pyftpdlib/ftpserver.py#1048">bandwidth throttling</a>.</p> <p>This recipe was initially inspired by Twisted's internet.base.DelayedCall class:</p> <p><a href="http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/browser/tags/last_vfs_and_web2/twisted/internet/base.py#L34" rel="nofollow">http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/browser/tags/last_vfs_and_web2/twisted/internet/base.py#L34</a></p> <p>...then included into pyftpdlib:</p> <p><a href="http://code.google.com/p/pyftpdlib/issues/detail?id=72" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/p/pyftpdlib/issues/detail?id=72</a></p> <p>...and finally proposed for inclusion into asyncore:</p> <p><a href="http://bugs.python.org/issue1641" rel="nofollow">http://bugs.python.org/issue1641</a></p>

Unfortunately I have not needed delete functionality so this is not implemented yet.</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 252496 by <a href="/recipes/users/1510937/">Tim Meehan</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/extending/">extending</a>). Revision 3. </p> <p>A simple example of a heap data structure as a C extension. This data structure can store and sort any python object that has a comparison function (i.e. strings, numbers, etc.).</p>
