Method detail

Poster.try_post(callable: Callable) → Any

Post the callable to Mechanical’s main thread.

This does the same thing as post but if callable raises an exception, try_post will raise the same exception to the caller of try_post.

Poster.post(callable: Callable) → Any

Post the callable to Mechanical’s main thread.

The main thread needs to be receiving posted messages in order for this to work from a background thread. Use the sleep routine from the utils module to make Mechanical available to receive messages.

Returns the result of callable if any.
