[Twisted-Python] Twisted Python 0.7.0 Prerelease Testing
by Glyph Lefkowitz Aug. 5, 2021

Aug. 5, 2021

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. ______ __ __ _____ _ _ | ____ | \_/ |_____] |_____| |… [View More]

[Twisted-Python] [patch] mktap web --resource
by Sune Kirkeby Aug. 12, 2002

Aug. 12, 2002

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 … [View More]

[Twisted-Python] Arms Crisis
by Glyph Lefkowitz June 10, 2002

June 10, 2002

Anyone who has programmed in depth with Twisted probably know about arm()ing deferreds by now. Nobody has complained as loudly as I thought they would, so I'm not sure if this is really that big of a problem, but I'm questioning my original design decisions regarding .arm(). Originally, I wanted it to be easily determineable whether your callback would be called before your stack had been escaped; so the system you returned your Deferred to would .arm() it afterwards. However, this creates … [View More]

[Twisted-Python] Proposal: Make tax default, tap optional
by Itamar Shtull-Trauring June 1, 2002

June 1, 2002

XML pickles have many benefits over taps, and the only issues they have is not support 1.5 and 2.2 new-style classes. I suggest we make them the default - a tap file is *much* less useful than a tax.

[Twisted-Python] Regarding customer support...
by Jason Asbahr June 1, 2002

June 1, 2002

Given some of the chats I've had with Glyph regarding bug tracking, customer support, and project management in Twisted, here's a nice overview article that provides some concrete definitions and feature descriptions for each. Note the "Workflow Management" paragraph where the author claims that the above mentioned systems are instances of Workflow Management and a system built around workflow management abstractions could be 'trivially' used to develop the others. http://linas.org/… [View More]

[Twisted-Python] Using HTTP proxies to circumvnet firewalls
by Itamar Shtull-Trauring May 31, 2002

May 31, 2002

Apparently, HTTP proxies have a command CONNECT, that lets you open a TCP/IP connection to an arbitrary host and port. This is intended for HTTPS. Now, most proxies probably limit this to 443 only, HTTPS port. So, presumably all those clients like ICQ that let you run over HTTP proxy - they use this, and have a ICQ server running on port 443. Thus allowing people to use it behind corporate firewalls. So, we need a HTTPProxy transport that will do this automatically for clients, along … [View More]

[Twisted-Python] [patch] three short ones
by Sune Kirkeby May 31, 2002

May 31, 2002

Hello twisted-ppl, Attached you'll find three short patches, two against t.w.widgets.RenderSession and one against t.p.http.Request. The first patch makes RenderSession unicode-agnostic (i.e. makes it treat string and unicode object alike). The second one makes t.p.http.Request aware of unicode, to the extent that it will correctly handle unicode strings with all ordinals < 128 (by simply str'ing them). The last patch makes RenderSession.callback return the result it was passed, so that … [View More]

[Twisted-Python] Zope PageTemplates for Twisted
by Sune Kirkeby May 30, 2002

May 30, 2002

Whee! In a fit of God-how-I-hate-all-other-template-languages I decided to take another look at Zopes PageTemplates (TAL, METAL and friends). I ended up liking the beast so much I decided to start porting it to Twisted, which resulted in the attached t.w.tal module. It is still very incomplete, and most likely also very buggy. But, in the interest of feedback I post it here. It dislikes it when I reuse deferreds (t.w.w.RenderSession becomes very confused and claims to be "rendering unknown"… [View More]

[Twisted-Python] Issue with factories
by Itamar Shtull-Trauring May 30, 2002

May 30, 2002

If you do reactor.listenTCP on a factory, startFactory and stopFactory are never called. I therefore suggest that we add methods doStart and doStop to protocol.Factory, like so, and have them called in listenTCP/UDP/SSL, and remove calls to start/stopFactory from app.Appliecation: class Factory: running = 0 def doStart(self): if not self.running: self.running = 1 self.startFactory() def doStop(self): if self.running: … [View More]

[Twisted-Python] LDAP is dead, long live LDAP!
by Tommi Virtanen May 30, 2002

May 30, 2002

LDAP support has been removed from the main Twisted tree. For the future, please refer to http://twistedmatrix.com/users/tv/ldaptor/ - the main application for now is a web-based editor/browser for an LDAP directory. -- tv(a){{hq.yok.utu,havoc,gaeshido}.fi,{debian,wanderer}.org,stonesoft.com} double a,b=4,c;main(){for(;++a<2e6;c-=(b=-b)/a++);printf("%f\n",c);}
