Yes, the HMAC module depends on Py2.2 because of changes in the hashing modulues. I sent a patch to amk, the pycrypto maintainer, so that will be fixed in the next release. If it's not in by the time I get to work, I'll commit it to the pycrypto repository myself. -p Original Message: ----------------- From: Glyph Lefkowitz glyph(a)twistedmatrix.com Date: Fri, 19 Jul 2002 00:50:08 -0500 (CDT) To: twisted-python(a)twistedmatrix.com Subject: [Twisted-Python] unit tests On python2.1, cvs pycrypto and cvs twisted, I get a warning about HMAC not being supported, and the unit test halt on twisted.conch tests (testOurServerOurClient).

[Twisted-Python] A newbie experience. Chapter one.
by Nils R Grotnes July 19, 2002

July 19, 2002

I'm a newbie, both with Python and with Twisted. That means I probably can't contribute as much as I want, but I believe there's one thing I can do that most of you maybe can not; That is to describe how it really feels to start with a very fresh (and simple?) mind. Here is one try. While waiting for a stable Debian 3.0, I'm back in Windows where I have learned most of what I know about programming and using computers. My current machine is a Win2K Pro, and it's quite updated and stable. I got Python 2.2.1 installed, and the latest Pythonwin too. I can't seem to find a PYTHONPATH anywhere, but since pydocgui.pyw runs fine, I'd like to believe that things has been installed well enough, this far. Then I had my first head-scratcher. I've read most of what's available on the Twisted website, and downloaded the zipped version of the source and documentation. "Installing Twisted" told me that "If you are on Windows, you may want to skip this and simply get the Windows Installer version of Twisted from the download page." Since all I could find was the Twisted-0.19.0.zip, I expected that zip-file to be the one. Silly me... Unpacking it revealed no setup.exe or .msi, but fortunately another procedure was described: "setup.py install". That sure did make something happen, though I'm not sure everything worked. Still, a twisted folder _was_ added to site-packages, but did it happen because I had unpacked twisted-0.19.0 there, or because the (invisible) PYTHONPATH was ok? Inspecting this new Twisted folder did make me feel a little better, it looked very similar to my earlier Debian install. Now to follow the final suggestion from "Installing Twisted". After figuring out that the "admin/runtests" was still back in the old folder, the next step was to get it to run. In the end, the command "c:\python22\python admin/runtests" worked, which made me think I really should have added that PYTHONPATH anyway... Four failures and four errors doesn't seem much, though the test window itself bombing was less impressive. Running the test again only led to 2 failures. Setting PYTHONPATH in the "Command Prompt"-shell to "C:\Python22\Lib\site-packages\Twisted-0.19.0\", running "setup.py install" again, then running another full test led to another failure removed. I think I'll leave the head-scratching over that strangeness to the pro's. Still, I have had some of Twisted running! There's hope. Nils (Logfile with some extra comments attached.)

[Twisted-Python] spread.sturdy
by Paul Boehm July 17, 2002

July 17, 2002

when i restart a PB server to which i've connected via spread.sturdy is restarted i get the following traceback instead of a reconnect. i can partially solve this by catching pb.ProtocolError inside spread.sturdy, which seems to work, except that i get an AlreadyConnected error after the the callRemote is reproduced after connecting. does anyone know how to correctly fix this? Traceback (most recent call last): File "./twisted/web/widgets.py", line 253, in display x = eval(elem, namespace, namespace) File "<string>", line 0, in ? File "./test.py", line 15, in getFilePerspective return ['<b>', File "./twisted/spread/sturdy.py", line 77, in callRemote return apply(self.reference.callRemote, (method,)+args, kw) File "./twisted/spread/pb.py", line 322, in callRemote return self.broker._sendMessage('',self.perspective, self.luid, name, args, kw) File "./twisted/spread/pb.py", line 739, in _sendMessage raise ProtocolError("Calling Stale Broker") twisted.spread.pb.ProtocolError: Calling Stale Broker thanks, paul

[Twisted-Python] NNTP server patch
by Andrew Stribblehill July 17, 2002

July 17, 2002

The attached patch adds NEXT and LAST functionality to the Twisted NNTP server, and allows commands like HEAD, BODY, STAT and ARTICLE to use the default current article. It also fixes up the XHDR response when using the Pickle backend from: 221 Header follows 1 ('Subject', 'Test foo 1') to: 221 Header follows 1 Test foo 1 I donate the code to Glyph -- do with it as you will ;) -- HUMBER THAMES VARIABLE 3 IN WEST HUMBER AT FIRST, OTHERWISE NORTHERLY 4, OCCASIONALLY 5 IN EAST THAMES. FAIR. MODERATE OR GOOD

[Twisted-Python] _listenerDict
by Sean C. Riley July 15, 2002

July 15, 2002

in twisted.internet.app.py self._listenerDict is initialized as a list at line 87 but then re-initialized as a dict later on at line 479. It appears to be referenced as a dict everywhere except that first initialization... I assume it should be a dict? If you unlistenTCP without bindPorts being called, i get a traceback saying the list self._listenerDict has no attribute "has_key".

[Twisted-Python] Disable directory serving?
by Lewin, Karl E July 15, 2002

July 15, 2002

Is it a coil option or something that has to be done programmatically? Currently with a default mktap web -f blah blah build of a webserver, if you go the root directory it will give a "directory" view. Is there some document I can read on how to disable that so the request has to be a real document? Not a real important question as I still just playing around getting a feel for the twisted framework and trying out simple things. Karl

[Twisted-Python] ANN: Twisted 0.19.0
by Itamar Shtull-Trauring July 15, 2002

July 15, 2002

Twisted is an event-based framework for internet applications, written in Python and licensed under the LGPL. For more information, visit: http://www.twistedmatrix.com Join the list at: http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python Our IRC channel is #twisted on irc.openprojects.net. What's New in 0.19.0 ==================== - cReactor, a C-based reactor for faster networking. - Reimplemented OSCAR protocol (for AIM and ICQ). - Added a new MVC-based web framework. - Refactoring of Deferreds. - Support for persisting to abstract object tree (this is equivalent to pickle, except that the output is Python source code.) - Processes can now be run setuid/setgid. - Huge number of bugfixes, including much improved SSL support, and lots more documentation. What is Twisted? ================ Twisted is an event-based framework for internet applications. It includes a web server, a telnet server, a chat server, a news server, a generic client and server for remote object access, and APIs for creating new protocols and services. Twisted supports integration of the Tk, GTK+, Qt or wxPython event loop with its main event loop. The Win32 event loop is also supported, as is basic support for running servers on top of Jython. Twisted supports TCP, SSL, UDP, Unix sockets and subprocesses out of the box. Twisted currently supports the following protocols, all implemented in pure python, most of them as both servers and clients: - NNTP - FTP - HTTP - SOCKSv4 - SMTP - IRC - telnet - POP3 - AOL's instant messaging TOC - OSCAR, used by AOL-IM as well as ICQ (client only) - DNS - finger - Echo, discard, chargen and friends - Twisted Perspective Broker - LDAP is available as a separate plugin
