Better way to write a polling function in python
Question:
I wrote a polling function to check the value of reg_result
variable for 120 seconds.
reg_result = 0
while_timeout = time.time() + 120
while reg_result is not "REGISTERED" and time.time() < while_timeout:
reg_result = LeshanObj.validate_reg_time(parameter_1)
Is there any other better way of writing a polling method?
Is it possible by not using a while
loop?
Answers:
There is a library in python Polling(https://pypi.python.org/pypi/polling/0.3.0)
You can use this
from polling import TimeoutException, poll
try:
poll(lambda: reg_result=='REGISTERED', timeout=120, step=1)
except TimeoutException as tee:
print "Value was not registered"
Hope it helps.
