Watches

ItemNoUpdateWatch

class ItemNoUpdateWatch(name, secs)

EVENT: alias of ItemNoUpdateEvent

cancel()

Cancel the item watch

Return type:: None

listen_event(callback): Listen to (only) the event that is emitted by this watcher

ItemNoChangeWatch

class ItemNoChangeWatch(name, secs)

EVENT: alias of ItemNoChangeEvent

cancel()

Cancel the item watch

Return type:: None

listen_event(callback): Listen to (only) the event that is emitted by this watcher

InstantView

class InstantView(instant)

classmethod now()

Create a new instance with the current time

Return type:: InstantView

delta_now(now=None)

Return the delta between now and the instant. The delta will be positive, e.g. if the InstantView is from 5 seconds ago this will return a timedelta with 5 seconds.

Parameters:: now (InstantView | Instant | None) – optional instant to compare to instead of now, must be newer than the instant of the instant view
Return type:: TimeDelta

newer_than(obj=None, **kwargs): Check if the instant is newer than the given value

older_than(obj=None, **kwargs): Check if the instant is older than the given value

py_datetime()

Return the datetime of the instant

Return type:: datetime

py_timedelta(now=None)

Return the timedelta between the instant and now

Parameters:: now (InstantView | Instant | None) – optional instant to compare to
Return type:: timedelta
