twisted version of openid
by Raj kumar Jan. 2, 2010

Jan. 2, 2010

Hi, Currently I'm having a server running under twisted. I'm planning to implement openid in my application. Is there any twisted version of openid api? I need some reference to go through openid examples. Thanks in advance. Raj. The INTERNET now has a personality. YOURS! See your Yahoo! Homepage. http://in.yahoo.com/

Newbie question about chaining deffereds
by Igor Katson Dec. 21, 2009

Dec. 21, 2009

Hello, I need to download a videofile, a thumbnail to it, process that videofile, and after the processing is finished, process the thumbnail with the result of processing the video. I do this, but it the logic (or the order) is wrong, so it does not work, it freezes after processing the video, while it downloads both of the files: url = 'http://..../video.flv' filename = 'video.flv' video_deffered = downloadPage(url, filename) video_deffered.addCallback(process_video, filename) => process_video returns video_id url = 'http://..../thumbnail.jpg' filename = 'thumbnail.jpg' image_deffered = downloadPage(url, filename) image_deffered.chainDeffered(video_deffered) image_deffered.addCallback(process_image, filename) =< video_id needed here What should I change for it to work? And also I need to make process_video and process_image work in threads, but I can't figure out how to solve this problem first.

twisted web write to a connection closed from client-side
by Andrew Gryaznov Dec. 15, 2009

Dec. 15, 2009

Hi, I have a problem: twisted does not indicate/throw exception when user has stopped reading the stream via "STOP" browser button (I guess it won't do in any other case of connection drop). Is this intended behavior and is there any way to detect that the data written to request goes nowhere? I am using twisted web to write HTTP stream that is read form asynchronous source continuously. I'm using Resource and NOT_READY_YET, then I just do request.write() infinitely until, and if, the source stops the stream, then do request.finish(). If the source does not stop and I stop the stream by hitting browser "stop" button - the twisted server continues reading source infinitely. Could not find any information about how connection resets are handled by twisted web

Was a minion invited to participate in Pycon 2010 Form Generation Panel?

I see that such a panel discussion is being formed -- just hoping that someone in Twisted was invited ... were they? (Actually, I'd like to see both Formless *and* Nevow Forms represented, if possible. :) Steve

Connection lost in a non-clean fashion
by Bill Oldroyd Dec. 9, 2009

Dec. 9, 2009

I have developed a web server based on twisted-web that acts as a gateway between the SRU search protocol and the Z39.50 search protocol. ( Details at http://www.loc.gov/z3950/agency/ ) Each SRU search request opens a thread which performs a Z39.50 search on a remote target and then returns the results which are converted into the SRU response. Sometimes the connection with the client issuing the SRU request is lost. In a few cases this produces the message "Connection to the other side was lost in a non-clean fashion: Connection lost. ". When several of these non-clean connection losses occur the web server will become unresponsive and will not respond to any new requests. Can anyone help with how I should respond to these non-clean lost connections ?. I can't find any documentation which helps me understand the impact of this type of error. As the connection is lost there is no point in returning any error response, but are there systems resources left allocated which might be causing the server to become unresponsive.

[Athena] Is ReliableMessageDelivery really necessary?
by Paul Thomas Dec. 8, 2009

Dec. 8, 2009

Hi, I've hit a problem as my app has got bigger (about 30-40 widgets now, all chattering roughly once every 2 seconds) where the reliable message delivery mechanism is spiralling out of control. It seems that the constant back and forth means that large 'baskets' of messages are resent. The more this happens, the busier everything gets until the browser becomes unresponsive. There's a fix for it: [Divmod-dev] athena duplicate messages issue but I'm slightly concerned about the potential for lost messages - and also confused about how this could happen. Given that HTTP is a reliable connection-oriented transport, where is the gap that messages can fall through? I think I can cope with lost messages in most cases, so would it be useful to add a kind of 'sendRemote' that was like 'callRemote' but didn't care about a response? Or maybe this already exists and I've missed it? Paul. P.S. this app is likely to get more noisy - is it likely that I'll have to abandon Athena for Orbited or similar? I mean, are there architectural differences that will prevent Athena scaling?

ANN: Twisted 9.0.0
by Christopher Armstrong Dec. 2, 2009

Dec. 2, 2009

= Twisted 9.0.0 = I'm happy to announce Twisted 9, the first (and last) release of Twisted in 2009. The previous release was Twisted 8.2 in December of 2008. Given that, a lot has changed! This release supports Python 2.3 through Python 2.6, though it is the last one that will support Python 2.3. The next release will support only Python 2.4 and above. Twisted: the framework of the future! You can download the new release at our web site, http://twistedmatrix.com/ There were around 285 tickets resolved in this release. The full list of changes is available here: http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/browser/tags/releases/twisted-9.0.0/NEWS?form… It's quite a huge list of changes spanning almost all of the Twisted projects, so here are some of the more exciting changes: In the core: - The Windows IOCP reactor now supports SSL. - The memcache protocol implementation got some nice new features. In Twisted Web: - There's a new HTTP client API and protocol implementation, starting at twisted.web.client.Agent. It's still pretty low-level, but much more flexible than the old API. - There were many improvements to the WSGI support. In Twisted Conch: - PyASN1 is now used to parse SSH keys (which means you now need to install it to use Conch). - SFTP servers (especially on Windows) now behave a lot better. In Twisted Mail: - The IMAP server and client protocol implementations had many fixes. For example, SASL PLAIN credentials now work. In Twisted Words: - XMPP clients now support the ANONYMOUS SASL authentication type. - The IRC protocol implementations had many fixes. And a lot more. = What is Twisted? = >From the web site: Twisted is an event-driven networking engine written in Python and licensed under the MIT license. See the FAQ for commonly asked questions about Twisted. http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions If you want to get started with Twisted, the first thing you should do is read the Twisted Core Documentation. http://twistedmatrix.com/projects/core/documentation/howto/index.html Twisted projects variously support TCP, UDP, SSL/TLS, multicast, Unix sockets, a large number of protocols (including HTTP, NNTP, IMAP, SSH, IRC, FTP, and others), and much more.
