[Twisted-Python] Simple PB Example
by Koen Bok Dec. 25, 2006

Dec. 25, 2006

Dear all, Happy christmas! I am trying to get the hang of Twisted and while the documentation is pretty clear I cannot figure out some basic things. I tried to build a little project to practise. I would love some hints, and I am not afraid to read. Basically I want to write a simple server (Public Broker) which keeps a list of all connected clients. When one client sends a message to the server, I want the server to relay that message to other specific clients, but only those (yes basically an IM server). So let's say I have a server and three clients: server: Hello, I am here! client #1: Yep, me too can I connect, I'm a girl? server: Sure, I'll add you to my clients list! client #2: Can I go too, I'm a guy? server: Yep, you are client number two on my list... client #3: Me too, me too, I am a guy! server: Fine, but now let's do some stuff... client #2: Server, can you please tell all clients that are girls that I'd like to see em after this session? server: Let's find out who are female clients in my list and send them the message. Consider it done! client #1: Thanks for the message, I'll see if I have time... In the end client #2 would date client #1...

[Twisted-Python] understand the ftp response
by Michele Petrazzo Dec. 22, 2006

Dec. 22, 2006

Hi list, I'm using ftp client and its storeFile for send a file to the server, but I'm have some troubles to understand its response. I receive, after the end of connection (fired by the SenderProtocol), something that ( pprint.pprint(result) ): [(True, [(True, ['150 FILE: /tmp/doc100.tif (Opening new data connection).', '226 Transfer complete (FILE: /tmp/doc100.tif).'])]), (True, None), (True, 'connection done')] That isn't so readable, for me. I need only the last response (the 150 and 226), so I have to make a: result[0][1][0][1], that work, but is not so understandable. Is there other soltions? Thanks, Michele

[Twisted-Python] ftp question
by Michele Petrazzo Dec. 22, 2006

Dec. 22, 2006

I list, I want to implement a not standard ftp STOR (STOT in the real) command. It not accept the path, because it create a new one on the server side. I'm tring to work with the sendToConnection and SenderProtocol, but I don't understand where the file (that on storeFile are passed as "path") are opened (read) for after pass its data to the write method of SenderProtocol. I stop myself because I'm not able to send data throw the channel! Can someone help me? Thanks, Michele

[Twisted-Python] SSL problem
by Steve Freitas Dec. 21, 2006

Dec. 21, 2006

Hi all. I'm having trouble getting SSL working properly. I'm running a modified t.m.pop3.POP3 server and it was running peachy on port 110, no problems under real-world load, so I thought it'd be simple enough to add SSL support by changing this... INTERFACES = ('1.2.3.4','4.5.6.7', etc.) for iface in INTERFACES: reactor.listenTCP(110, myPop3server, interface=iface) reactor.run() ...to this: INTERFACES = ('1.2.3.4','4.5.6.7', etc.) sslContext = ssl.DefaultOpenSSLContextFactory(SSL_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE, SSL_CERTIFICATE_FILE) for iface in INTERFACES: reactor.listenTCP(110, myPop3server, interface=iface) reactor.listenSSL(995, myPop3server, interface=iface, contextFactory=sslContext) reactor.run() Which worked fine when hitting it with a single client from my machine, but failed miserably when hitting it from mail2web.com. Lots of errors loading the message list and the messages. The log showed mail2web connecting and then immediately dropping the connection. I tried changing the code so I instantiated one sslContext per call to listenSSL. That made it much better, but still not perfect. The errors persisted. So I tried dropping the calls to listenSSL, and wrapped the server with stunnel. That worked perfectly, except since my host doesn't support transparent proxying, my twisted app doesn't see the connecting client's IP, and I need that, so that's not an option. It does implicate twisted's particular flavor of SSL in my problems, though. I don't know much about SSL, but I searched the twisted list and couldn't find anything that helped, with the possible exception of a query about support for SSL session resumption. I don't know what it is, but it sounds useful. Anyway, if anybody could toss an idea or two my way, I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Steve P.S. for posterity: I got a tip from this list to use authbind when trying to bind my twisted server to a privileged port (e.g. < 1024). For those of you who might have trouble using authbind to allow your non-root user to bind to ports between 512-1023, you need to get the authbind source, then comment out helper.c:76 and libauthbind.c:151, at least for version 1.1.5.2, where it checks the requested port against IPPORT_RESERVED/2. The man page squawks about prohibiting these ports to avoid creating a security hole in conjunction with rsh, but since rsh _is_ a security hole, I'm not overly worried about that.

[Twisted-Python] Transforming Exception -> pb.Error in a remote_foo method
by Brian Granger Dec. 20, 2006

Dec. 20, 2006

Hi, In the Twisted docs it is claimed that in order to propagate exceptions over PB: "The only special thing you do is to define your Exception subclass by deriving it from pb.Error. " This seems simple enough, but I am using PB to adapt a general service that doesn't use pb.Errors (as the service is also adapted to other protocols). How can one transform a regular Exception to a pb.Error? The following does not work: def remote_foo(self, f): d = self.service.foo(f) def raiser(): raise pb.Error('I pbfailed') d.addErrback(lambda reason: raiser()) # reason is an Exception, not a pb.Error! return d In this case, the server still complains about an unhandled exception. Any thoughts about how to do this? Thanks Brian

[Twisted-Python] Possible error in core documentation in defer.html

Hi all, - Page: http://twistedmatrix.com/projects/core/documentation/howto/defer.html - Section: Multiple callbacks The example ends with:: # this series of callbacks and errbacks will print "Result: 12" g = Getter() d = g.getData(4) d.addCallback(printData) d.addErrback(printError) The line:: d = g.getData(4) should be:: d = g.getDummyData(4) Should I enter this in TRAC? -- Pierre Rouleau
