# greengrassHelloWorld.py
# Demonstrates a simple publish to a topic using Greengrass core sdk
# This lambda function will retrieve underlying platform information and send
# a hello world message along with the platform information to the topic 'hello/world'
# The function will sleep for five seconds, then repeat.  Since the function is
# long-lived it will run forever when deployed to a Greengrass core.  The handler
# will NOT be invoked in our example since the we are executing an infinite loop.

# Invoke 

# Creating a greengrass core sdk client
client = greengrasssdk.client('lambda')

# Retrieving platform information to send from Greengrass Core
my_platform = platform.platform()


# When deployed to a Greengrass core, this code will be executed immediately
# as a long-lived lambda function.  The code will enter the infinite while loop
# below.
# If you execute a 'test' on the Lambda Console, this test will fail by hitting the
# execution timeout of three seconds.  This is expected as this function never returns
# a result.

    Timer(5, greengrass_hello_world_run).start()


# Start executing the function above

# This is a dummy handler and will not be invoked
# Instead the code above will be executed in an infinite loop for our example
