Methods
-------

.. rst-class:: interim-class

.. class:: Source
   :no-index:


   .. method:: finalize()

      









   .. method:: get_current_time()

      This function ignores ``source`` and is otherwise the same as
      :func:`~gi.repository.GLib.get_current_time`.






      .. deprecated:: 2.28

         use :func:`~gi.repository.GLib.Source.get_time` instead







   .. method:: set_callback(fn, user_data=None)

      Sets the callback function for a source. The callback for a source is
      called from the source's dispatch function.

      The exact type of ``func`` depends on the type of source; ie. you
      should not count on ``func`` being called with ``data`` as its first
      parameter. Cast ``func`` with :func:`~gi.repository.GLib.SOURCE_FUNC` to avoid warnings about
      incompatible function types.

      See [memory management of sources][mainloop-memory-management] for details
      on how to handle memory management of ``data``.

      Typically, you won't use this function. Instead use functions specific
      to the type of source you are using, such as :func:`~gi.repository.GLib.idle_add` or :func:`~gi.repository.GLib.timeout_add`.

      It is safe to call this function multiple times on a source which has already
      been attached to a context. The changes will take effect for the next time
      the source is dispatched after this call returns.

      Note that :func:`~gi.repository.GLib.Source.destroy` for a currently attached source has the effect
      of also unsetting the callback.
