[Twisted-Python] Twisted Python 0.7.0 Prerelease Testing
by Glyph Lefkowitz 05 Aug '21

05 Aug '21

hi there, folks: I'd really like to release 0.7.0 but I would like it to be at least a little bit tested before I do so. Could those of you with CVS trees check everything out and see if it performs as advertised? Deeper bugs than that will have to wait for the next release, but I'd at least like to know if it works for someone other than me. Thanks. ______ __ __ _____ _ _ | ____ | \_/ |_____] |_____| |_____| |_____ | | | | @ t w i s t e d m a t r i x . c o m http://www.twistedmatrix.com/~glyph/

[Twisted-Python] [patch] mktap web --resource
by Sune Kirkeby 12 Aug '02

12 Aug '02

Hi, all! Attached is a short patch to add a --resource option to "mktap web", here is the --help for it: -r, --resource= <class> is the name (including module) of a subclass of twisted.web.resource.Resource to publish. So you can have any subclass of t.w.r.Resource be the 'root' of your web-server. I have also been working on a few other things: - an async Pytho-only PostgreSQL interface (not t.e.adbapi compatible, since I am not usre I like it's interface and need to play a bit before I figure out how I would like an async SQL-database interface to behave.) - a SQLResultWidget, very dull right now but I will probably hack some BoboDTML support into it. first-post-but-not-like-/.-ly yrs, -- Sune Kirkeby | /* we're still looking for the end of the | * server's header ...

[Twisted-Python] Intra-process callRemote
by Kevin Turner 30 Apr '02

30 Apr '02

I've got an arrangement where the obvious way to do things is with a Viewable... class StorageThing(pb.Viewable): def view_setMessage(self, who, what): self._store[who.identityName] = what class Who(pb.Perspective): def setMyMessage(self, what): self.storageView.callRemote("setMessage", what) only, it turns out that some of the "who"s don't really need to be in a seperate process from the Viewable; storageView is actually a reference to a ViewPoint instead of a *remote* reference to a ViewPoint, and ViewPoints don't have callRemote (because, well, they're not remote). I don't know, maybe PB just isn't quite as transparent as I desire it to be. I did so much like the idea of writing this code to communicate locally now, and just being able to drop in remote objects instead later. I could of course do def setMyMessage(self, what): self.storageView.view_setMessage(self, what) but that doesn't look nearly as elegant, and I'll have to make duplicate code with a callRemote if storageView ever becomes remote.

[Twisted-Python] Page Templates (Zope) with twisted.web
by Tim Chase 30 Apr '02

30 Apr '02

Twisted folks, I experimented briefly with twisted several months ago. After banging my head against the Zope wall for a while, I am back to twisted. One ray of hope in the Zope confusion was Zope Page Templates (ZPT). According to http://www.zopelabs.com/cookbook/998065931, ZPT can be used outside of Zope. I can kind of envision this, but I am not yet twisted enough. Is anyone already working on using Page Templates within a twisted web? I also saw some mention of using WebWare as a presentation layer. Are there any examples of using WebWare with twisted web. Thanks, Tim Chase chase(a)iac.net

[Twisted-Python] Tests we need - a very partial list
by Itamar Shtull-Trauring 29 Apr '02

29 Apr '02

1. twisted.protocols.socks 2. twisted.protocols.telnet 3. twisted.protocols.ftp 4. TOC and OSCAR real server testing - make fake accounts on AIM and ICQ servers and then test all functionality - sending messages. logon messages, etc.. 5. twisted.protocols.oscar 6. Make sure transports close connection after loseConnection: - immediately if no data is in buffer - after they send all buffered data if there is some - after producer finishes if a producer is registered 7. Test producers with transports. 8. More tests for everything else (e.g. NNTP and news) 9. Automated CGI and distrib tests for twisted.web - moving tests from acceptests into twisted.tests. 10. There are probably lots of other untested things in twisted.web - test them. 11. Tests for all methods of twisted.protocols.http.Request.

[Twisted-Python] get email and subdomain @ sikrit.info
by Itamar Shtull-Trauring 28 Apr '02

28 Apr '02

Want an email yourname(a)sikrit.info? Want a subdomain yourname.sikrit.info? I am now offering both, under the following terms - you must write 10 tests a month for Twisted as rent. These tests can't be the same as those you may use to get other domains with similar agreements. In return, you will get an email address and subdomain forwarded to an IP of your choice, or URL forwarding. Offers to write documentation instead of tests are also accepted.

[Twisted-Python] get email plus subdomain at fakeroot.org (#@%^@
by Gavin Cooper 28 Apr '02

28 Apr '02

Imagine, you(a)fakeroot.org! i.never.fakeroot.org! Yes, ~!@ Vanity @!~ email addresses and 31337 subdomains can be yours. How is such an outragiously great offer possible? Shouldn't an opprotunity like this be illegal? You too are eligable for a vanity subdomain by simple working on twisted.names and twisted.mail until their functionality is complete and reliable. What are you waiting for? Start coding for your own subdomain now! *cough* moshez *cough* squish.fakeroot.org *cough* Gavin Cooper / skreech

[Twisted-Python] WebDAV / FTP / etc.
by Itamar Shtull-Trauring 27 Apr '02

27 Apr '02

Various thoughts - if someone ever implements this stuff or refactors FTP server, talk to me first. 1. WebDAV, FTP, sftp, HTTP for file serving - they're all basically using three interfaces (only WebDAV makes this explicit.) ICollection - collection of IEntities (a "directory") IEntity - an entity that stores data (a "file") IProperyManager - set and get properties (implemented by ICollections and IEntities.) So, we define the interfaces, and then write at least one implemntation, a filesystem backed one. FTP, WebDAV and twisted.web.static would all depend on these interfaces, and given a FS-backed implementation could serve files. 2. WebDAV does *not* depend on twisted.web - it's a separate HTTP-based protocol. Note that WebDAV has its own port (e.g. because it breaks with certain web proxies) and in general the concept of twisted.web's Resource doesn't map to WebDAV, since WebDAV isn't supposed to be *doing* stuff, it's for *editing* entities.

I don't know, maybe I have a timeout mis-specified somewhere? http://twistedmatrix.com/users/acapnotic/mycvs/cvstoys/fresher.py -- The moon is full, 99.7% illuminated, 14.2 days old.
