Actor wakeup about thespian HOT 4 CLOSED

Hello,

Try to simply do something like:

hello = ActorSystem().createActor(MyActor)
ActorSystem().tell(hello, None)  # None is used in place of a real message here

With the implementation of your MyActor class as it is, the first message sent by the ActorSystem will be received immediately by hello and trigger the loop. Subsequent messages should be of type WakeupMessage and trigger further wakeup calls.
Hence, implementing the kind of forever loop you are asking for.

Sincerely.

I have tried to just send the message from the actor, just like you did in your examples:
self.send(self.myAddress, WakeupMessage(timedelta(seconds=2)))

It works but for some reason the delayed period is ignored and it just fires rapidly instead of the 2 seconds delay.
Is this the right way to do so?

Thanks,
DD.
