Persist

Maintains a persistent websocket connection.

lomond.persist.persist(websocket, poll=5, min_wait=5, max_wait=30, ping_rate=30, ping_timeout=None, exit_event=None)

Run a websocket, with a retry mechanism and exponential back-off.

Parameters:
  • websocket – A Websocket instance.
  • poll (float) – The websocket poll rate, in seconds.
  • min_wait (float) – The minimum time to wait between reconnect attempts (seconds).
  • max_wait (float) – The maximum time to wait between reconnect attempts (seconds).
  • ping_rate (float) – Delay between pings (seconds), or 0 for no auto ping.
  • ping_timeout (float) – Maximum time in seconds to wait for a pong response before disconnecting. Set to None (default) to disable. If set, double ping_rate would be a good starting point.
  • exit_event – A threading event object, which can be used to exit the persist loop if it is set. Set to None to use an internal event object.
lomond.persist.random() → x in the interval [0, 1).
