Utilities¶
Cancelling long calls.
utils.cancel¶
Cancelling long calls: spy missions and kingdom scans take a cancel event.
A call that takes cancel: threading.Event looks at it between requests,
never during one. A request in flight is left to end with its own reply or
timeout, so its waiter is never abandoned and its reply cannot be taken by the
next request for that command (see Connection.request); cancelling is
noticed within one request's timeout. Setting the event is the whole API: one
event can cancel many calls, for example at shutdown.
