[Buildbot-devel] sleep in buildbot.process.buildstep.BuildStep

[Boris Savelev]

Hello!

I have build system with buildbot. I need to test packages produced with
buildbot on another service.
I have step `Test` which push packages to service and start testing. In
this step I also need wait result of test and return FAIL or SUCCESS

Example class:
class Testing(buildbot.process.buildstep.BuildStep):
  def start(self):
    client = ATSClient()
    build = self.getProperty('build')
    client.push(build)
    while client.test_is_finished():
      time.sleep(60) #check it once in minute

    if client.is_failed():
      return self.finished(buildbot.status.builder.FAILURE)
    else:
      return self.finished(buildbot.status.builder.SUCCESS)

This code works but when this code work buildbot didn't responding.
I think that this code works in same thread or something like that and
block buildmaster.

Can you help me, how I can create custom step in right way?
How I can create step that wait something and didn't block buildmaster?

env:
Buildbot: 0.8.7p1
Twisted: 13.1.0
Jinja: 2.6
Python: 2.7.3 (default, Jan 2 2013, 13:56:14) [GCC 4.7.2]
Buildmaster platform: linux2
