[Twisted-Python] FTP: A little help?
by Jeff Grimmett 12 Mar '06

12 Mar '06

For no good reason, I've been trying to implement a basic FTP server w/ Twisted 2.2. After a few puzzling exceptions, some custom code, TOSSING the custom code, and more quality time with the source, I've come to the conclusion that I need a nudge in the right direction. Initially, it looks like it should be pretty straightforward (as much as it ever gets in Twisted anyway :), but it's not working. Here's the code: =============== from twisted.protocols.ftp import FTPFactory from twisted.protocols.ftp import FTPRealm from twisted.cred.portal import Portal print "Starting FTP server" p = Portal(FTPRealm('./')) # start up in local dir for giggles f = FTPFactory(p) from twisted.internet import reactor reactor.listenTCP(21, f) reactor.run() print "FTP Server terminated." =============== Simple. This raises no exceptions, and appears to be working until I actually log in. =============== ftp> open localhost Connected to elric. 220 Twisted 2.2.0 FTP Server User (elric:(none)): anonymous 331 Guest login ok, type your email address as password. Password: 530 Sorry, Authentication failed. Login failed. =============== The shell it's running from shows no errors or exceptions. So why did my anonymous login fail? (I'll wait until I solve that before I tackle the issue of actual "real" users) -- "Ladies and gentlemen, there's nothing to worry about ... but please keep your heads down." Best, Jeff

[Twisted-Python] Removal of deprecated twisted.python.components functionality
by James Y Knight 12 Mar '06

12 Mar '06

Everything that was previously marked as deprecated in twisted.python.components (and has been since Twisted 2.0) is now being removed. fixClassImplements and backwardsCompatImplements are now no-ops, and if you have them in any of your code, you should remove them. Unfortunately we missed deprecating a few things, so not everything has been able to be removed yet. The most important thing that will be going but has not yet is the adaptation function call with a "default" keyword argument, as in: "IFoo(obj, default=whatever)". Zope.Interface calls the second arg "alternate" instead of "default", which is an incompatibility. Because of this, the Interfaces definitions in twisted cannot be changed to be straight zope.interface.Interface classes yet, and must still be t.p.c.Interface for at least another release to allow people to fix programs using the old "default" argument. (it now does give a deprecation warning suggesting replacing it with a positional second argument). Most things are gone, what's left undeprecated is: ComponentsDeprecationWarning registerAdapter getAdapterFactory Adapter Componentized ReprableComponentized getRegistry And what's still there for now, newly deprecated: Interface getAdapterClass getAdapterClassWithInheritance backwardsCompatImplements fixClassImplements The exception class CannotAdapt is an alias for TypeError, so you should use that directly, although the attribute cannot be actually deprecated.

What I mean by > this is that is does not block execution, it only blocks the user from > starting new commands. The full machinery of Twisted is free to > proceed while the result is pending. Rather than thinking of your goal as "blocking" the user from starting a new command when once is pending, think of it as "deferring" execution of any new commands entered by the user. With that Twisted-compatible mindset in place, you can design a queue for deferring your user's commands. If no commands are pending in the queue, you simply run it right away and return a deferred to its result, as has been discussed. If the user starts a new command while the first is still pending, simply wrap the execution of that new command in its own deferred and chain it to the pending deferred. If the new command depends on the result of the pending one, that's just fine. When the first command completes, its result will be passed to the callback that will then run your second-entered command. The outcome of all will be pretty cool for your user. He can type "x = hugeFunction(a)" and get something like "Computing 'x = hugeFunction(a)...'" Being impatient, he can then type "y = massiveFunction(x)" and then get "Waiting for x to compute 'y = hugeFunction(x)...'" and so on. Instead of being forced to just sit and wait, he can *benefit* from the async power of Twisted by being able to stack up his computations and see the whole chain of deferred operations. By the way, I've been down this "it must block" road myself several times before I eventually realized that it will never work. Code that sits around and idles while it waits for something can only exist in a separate thread or process from the Twisted event loop. Best regards, Ed Suominen

[Twisted-Python] waitForDeferred Question
by Brian Granger 11 Mar '06

11 Mar '06

Hi, I have a function that returns a Deferred. I need to have the result of this Deferred returned in a (apparently) blocking/synchronous manner: def myfuncBlocking(): d = myfuncReturnsDeferred() ... result = return result I need to be able to call this function like: result = myfuncBlocking() The question is how to get the result out of the Deferred() and make it *look* like myfuncBlocking() has blocked. I have looked over the waitForDeferred() docstrings and code, but it is still not obvious how to use waitForDeferred() to accomplish this. The blockOn() capability of the gthreadless.py module (in the sandbox) seems to accomplish what I want, but I would like to use things that are in the main twisted trunk. What is the best way to go about this? Thanks Brian -- Brian Granger Santa Clara University ellisonbg(a)gmail.com

[Twisted-Python] Twisted Windows Suggestions
by Timothy Fitz 10 Mar '06

10 Mar '06

Teratorn and I are stepping up to support twisted on windows, and the first thing we need to figure out is a list of fixes and features, by priority. Our top priority is definitely making a windows reactor pass all of the tests, but beyond that there are numerous issues. My first project is rewriting the installer using distutils, but there are numerous other issues to solve, three off the top of my head: 1. Running tac/tap files on windows is unnatural. Sure it's easy enough for a developer but it's not windows system administrator friendly. There are many ways to solve this, and I haven't thought about it long enough, but step 1 would just be associating tac and tap files with running python.exe twistd on them. 2. Installing tac/taps as services, seamlessly, without writing your own service code. 3. Buildbots running on windows 2000, windows 2003, soon Vista as well. I'm not sure how much interest is here, but we'd either need donated hardware or we'd have to run VMWare somewhere. What other big issues stop or hinder your usage of Twisted?

[Twisted-Python] **kwargs with PB
by Don Smith 10 Mar '06

10 Mar '06

Greetings, I'm experimenting with PB because I want to pass keyword arguments to my remote methods, and I cannot do that with XML-RPC. But, I can't seem to do it with PB either. I was wondering if anyone could confirm or deny that **kwargs work with PB remote objects. Thanks, Don

[Twisted-Python] DB-Transaction spanning several calls
by Marco Aschwanden 09 Mar '06

09 Mar '06

Hi How do I make a db transaction that spans several xmlrpc calls before I can do a commit? Do I have to manipulate the twisted.enterprise.adbapi by hand to reach my goal? Thanks for any hints, Have a nice day, Marco

[Twisted-Python] XMLRPC Server: Bug with None response
by Yvain Malsot 09 Mar '06

09 Mar '06

Message interesting for the following twisted developpers (@see ticket #1132): - oubiwann - jknight - itarmarst Hi, as we have seen in our developpment spikes and at this place: http://twistedmatrix.com/pipermail/twisted-web/2005-September/001903.html there's a bug when Twisted XML-RPC server deals with 'None' method response. The previous message has given a patch (seen at the end of message) for using the 'allow_none' parameter in order to resolve bug. As we are new twisted users and haven't seen any revision for twisted.web.xmlrpc module (since 2 years), we are asking twisted-community the following questions: - is this patch acceptable? - will it be include in next twisted revision? We have seen that a new xmlrpc.py is ready to be committed in the web2 package (see ticket #1132: http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/1132) but it doesn't seem to include the previous patch. Moreover, what about ticket #914 (uncatched exceptions we have also encountered) ? Regards, Vincent & Yvain

[Twisted-Python] Conch and Rsync
by Brendan Simon 08 Mar '06

08 Mar '06

I have an application that runs on Windows, and I want to be able to sync files back and forth from/to a unix server. The unix server has sshd and rsync. Can I use twisted/conch on the Windows box to call rsync (over ssh) on the unix server to push/pull files to/from the Windows box ??? Do I need something like rsync.py in my Windows app ? If so, would it be an rsync client and/or server ? Thanks for any info and thoughts. Brendan.
