- find_exe(basename)[source]¶
Find the path to an executable by its base name (such as ‘gpg’).

If the environment variable is not provided, the PATH will be searched both without and with a “.exe” suffix for Windows compatibility.
If the executable can not be found, None is returned.
- polling_loop(*, count=None, timeout=None, delay=5)[source]¶

The count or timeout must be specified; both can be simultaneously. The default delay is five seconds.
- Parameters
count (int) – Maximum number of iterations this loop can produce. Can be None for unlimited retries.
timeout (float) – Maximum number of seconds to try the loop for.
delay (float) – Delay in seconds between each iteration.
