Starts the main bonobo loop so that AT-SPI events are received and GUI monitors function properly.

Allows clients to register for callbacks from the main loop on a set interval.

Method Details

[hide private]

init(self)
(Constructor)

source code

Create an AEMain Object.

Overrides: object.__init__

_init(self, profile, application_state)

source code

Calls init on each manager.

Manager: AEDeviceManager, AEEventManager, AESettingsManager, AETierManager, AEViewManager

Called implicitly by run.

Parameters:

profile (string) - Name of the profile SUE was executed under
application_state (AESate) - defines the settings for this application

_close(self)

source code

Shuts down all managers.

Called implicitly by run when the main loop ends. Sends an exiting message to the default device.

quit(self, *args)

source code

Stops the event loop by calling the pyatspi.Registry.stop function.

Extra parameters are ignored but captured by args so that this method may be registered as a signal handler callback.

addTimer(self, callback, ms=None, *args)

source code

Creates a timer that calls the given callback on the interval specified by the given milliseconds. If ms is None, registers for callbacks on idle.

Parameters:

callback (callable) - Function to call
ms (integer) - interval in milliseconds
args (list) - Additional arguments to be given to the callback

removeTimer(self, callback)

source code

Ceases calls to the given registered callback.

Parameters:

callback (callable) - Function to stop calling

Raises:

KeyError - When the callback is not registered

run(self, profile, welcome, application_state)

source code

Starts an event loop by calling the pyatspi.Registry.start function.

Makes the timer callbacks registered via addTimer on each iteration of the loop.

Parameters:

profile (string) - Name of the profile SUE was executed under
welcome (boolean) - Output an introductory message?
application_state (AESate) - defines the settings for this application
