parse_result(self, result)

source code

Parse the given data into a dictionary. The syntax for result has to be a key-value pair per line separated by a colon (':'). Spaces at the beginning or the end are stripped from both the key and the value. For instance:

   foo: bar
   test: partial
   maybe : maybe not

Parameters:

result (str) - the result to parse

Returns: dict

a dictionary containing the key-value pairs

start(self, callback)

source code

Sets up an automatic loop of update url calls starting right now. Everytime a result is received the callback is triggered with a dictionary of the parsed result as argument. The next iteration is done every check_interval-seconds.

Raises:

AlreadyRunning - if the method was already called before. It is only allowed to call this method once. It is mandatory to call stop before calling start again.
