class pytwitcherapi.chat.client.Reactor(on_connect=<function __do_nothing>, on_disconnect=<function __do_nothing>)

Bases: irc.client.Reactor

Reactor that can exit the process_forever loop.

The reactor is responsible for managing the connections, and handling the events that come in to the connections.

Simply call Reactor.shutdown() while the reactor is in a loop.

For more information see irc.client.Reactor.

__init__(on_connect=<function __do_nothing>, on_disconnect=<function __do_nothing>)

Initialize a reactor.
