something like this should work:
var cancelWithTimeout = function (deferred, timeout) {
var canceller = callLater(timeout, function () {
// cancel the deferred after timeout seconds
deferred.cancel();
});
return deferred.addCallback(function (res) {
// if the deferred fires successfully, cancel the timeout
canceller.cancel();
return res;
});
};
Used like this:
var d = cancelWithTimeout(10.0, loadJSONDoc(...));
Bob-
Thanks that worked (had to switch 10.0 to the 2nd parameter...).
Right -- that's what I get for writing code in Mail without testing it. I've got another question for you regarding simplejson. Have you (or anyone you know of) done serialization of python objects using JSON?
That's more or less what simplejson does by definition... It won't serialize arbitrary objects out of the box, but it's easily subclassable in a way that would make it easy to do so (implementing a "default" method). I'm thinking about how difficult it would be to do remote objects over http....
You mean like JSON-RPC?
