Clocks, Time and Scheduling modulesΒΆ
This library contains a range of tools for dealing with timing, clocks, and timelines and scheduling code to run at set times.
Contents:
The dvbcss.monotonic_time
module provides a time()
and sleep()
functions equivalent to those in the
standard python library time
module. However these are guaranteeed to
be monotonic and use the highest precision time sourcecs available (depending
on the host operating system).
The dvbcss.clock
module provides high level abstractions for representing clocks
and timelines and the relationships between them. The
client and server implementations
for the DVB-CSS protocols use these objects to represent clocks and timelines.
The:mod:Task module provides sleep and task scheduling functions that work
with clock
objects and allow code to be called when a clock
reaches a particular tick value, even if that clock is adjusted in some way
after the task is scheduled.
