Twisted - I Need To Periodically Connect/disconnect A Client Connection

I have a twisted tcp client that I would like to periodically cause to connect, receive a stream of date for n seconds, then disconnect. After disconnecting n seconds would elapse

Solution 1:

reactor.run() should be run only once.

from twisted.internet import task, reactor

def connect():
    do_connect()
    reactor.callLater(60, disconnect) # disconnect in a minute

task.LoopingCall(connect).start(120) # call connect() every 2 minutes
reactor.run()
