[Twisted-Python] Concurrent data access with select() safe?
by Mukhsein Johari 13 Aug '02

13 Aug '02

Hello all, I've managed to get a working custom webserver thanks to Donovan. My next question is (perhaps more due to my ignorance of how select works) how do you control concurrent access to data? In a multi-thread system you'd normally use devices like locks on the data / resource but what about an event based one like twisted? Say my server does reads and writes on some file/files. How do I ensure data integrity? Do I need some kind of locking mechanism or does using SelectReactor make this point moot? -- Regards, Mukhsein Johari

[Twisted-Python] Patch for tcp.py
by Martin Sjögren 13 Aug '02

13 Aug '02

Non-blocking connects seems to be handled wrong. In particular, EALREADY is handled like EISCONN, when it should be handled like e.g. EINPROGRESS. This is consistent for both unix and windows.

[Twisted-Python] Resource perplexity
by Steve Waterbury 12 Aug '02

12 Aug '02

Yet another newbie question: Firewall realities being what they are, I'd like to "multiplex" several things over a single web server/port (80 for production, but for now anything), so I've been hacking at the xmlrpc example, but no luck so far (see attached attempt -- it runs, but gives a "404" for /RPC2 or /RPC2/ ...). Two questions: (1) Is this an architecturally sound use of twisted? (Optimal?) (And if not, suggestions? :^) (2) If so, what am I doing blockheaded? Thanks again for your help and patience! -- Steve.

[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] twisted.enterprise
by Jp Calderone 11 Aug '02

11 Aug '02

Quick query. I'm using twisted.enterprise.adbapi.Augmentation in my latest project and I've just moved the createSchema() call into the mktap phase. This seems like a decent place to put it, as the schema need only be created once for each server application. However, 'mktap' no longer exits now. The .tap is created, but then it looks like a thread is left running somewhere. What's the right way to release connections acquired indirectly from the ConnectionPool? With the .close() method, or ... ?

[Twisted-Python] PB over unix socket ... how?
by Steve Waterbury 11 Aug '02

11 Aug '02

twisted gurus ... help! I want to use PB down in the guts of my application, but only later on will I actually be using the pb protocol over the network, so in the meantime I'd like to play it safe and have PB talk to other components over unix domain sockets. I know from wandering around in the internet module that there's lots of support for unix sockets and even an IReactorUNIX, but it's late and I'm a little dizzy and I figured someone could probably point me in the right direction with about 5 lines anyway ... if there's an example, I musta missed it ... 8^P TIA! -- Steve.

Awesome. I really appreciate people using it and providing feedback; designing in a vacuum is tough.

The fix was to return the result up if the result was *not* a widget, and not bother calling viewMethod again. Since I always program DOMTemplate using domwidgets nowadays, I never encountered this. Patch committed, which you already know since you committed the patch ;-) > Considering that rendering a template node could have program logic in > it that > only should be evaluated once per pageview.

However, there are often cases where doing a monolithic "setUp" doesn't make sense, and leaving each node to gather it's own data is lazier and therefore more efficient. Thanks for the bug report.

[Twisted-Python] Twisted.web/DOMTemplate
by Stephen Thorne 10 Aug '02

10 Aug '02

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Okay, I've been doing some hacking trying to make a small application using twisted.web and the .rpy stuff, using DOMTemplate. Ordinarily I'd chat about something like this on the irc channel, but it was dead quiet. Apart from me talking to myself of course. in the template: <P view='getBody'> in the response object def factory_getBody(self, request, node): print 1 return node This (when twistd --nodaemon is used) prints 1 twice (instead of the once expected). This is because of the following section of code: def getNodeView(self, request, node): <snip> maybeWidget = viewMethod(request, node) if isinstance(maybeWidget, domwidgets.Widget): view = maybeWidget viewMethod = view.generateDOM This is *bad*. viewMethod in this instance is response.factory_getBody, and in order to figure out if factory_getBody returns a widget as opposed to an instance of xml.dom.minidom.Element it actually calls the function to have a look. If it doesn't return a widget it *throws the result away*. viewMethod is then returned and used elsewhere, where its actually intended to be used. Considering that rendering a template node could have program logic in it that only should be evaluated once per pageview. It could also carry some expensive database transactions. Anyhow. I can't figure out how to refactor without breaking Widget functionality, and the way 'controller' works. Anyhow. I think I'd call the above a bug report. Maybe with elements of rant thrown in.

[Twisted-Python] sturdy

compare Twisted-0.19 behaviour to current cvs behaviour for this: --- from twisted.spread import sturdy from twisted.internet import reactor sturdy.PerspectiveConnector("localhost", 8787, "update", \ "secret", "sam", "update", 1).callRemote("moo") reactor.run() --- current cvs doesn't do reconnect attempts... this has to have broken in the last few days, but i don't know exactly where or when. paul
