Better understanding of websocket connect method

vineet_dhandhania

Hi,

1)
Snippet from sample code:

# Infinite loop on the main thread. Nothing after this will run.
# You have to use the pre-defined callbacks to manage subscriptions.
kws.connect()

I couldn't find the "infinite loop". Where is it? Can't find it in the method definition KiteTicker.connect().

2) Please confirm the below understanding:
When kws.connect() is not threaded then it is nothing but the main thread. However, if I make it threaded -- kws.connect(threaded=True), then it becomes a new thread and the main thread can be continued with more code right after the the kws.connect call. Implying that "Nothing after this will run" is no more valid.
Please confirm.

Thanks.

1. kws.connect is basically a twisted event loop. Here is the "infinite loop" you are looking for. https://github.com/twisted/twisted/blob/trunk/src/twisted/internet/base.py#L1264
2. Are you talking about the comment line on threaded ticker sample example? We will change it sometime. Thanks for the note.
