[Twisted-Python] Bullets for the twisted proselytizer gun?
by Eric Faurot June 9, 2006

June 9, 2006

Hi all, I will probably have a chance to be in charge of a (commercial) project that consists in developping a platform for handling distributed content, with XML-flavored chips and webby services. I am also confident that my voice will be heard concerning the technical aspects of the project. My wish is of course to use twisted for that. But I will have to convince people with the tie and the money, who tragically are also the ones who are most sensible to buzzwords. The LAMP case will be rather easy to deal with. I'll show no mercy. My concern is that the dreadful J2EE acronym has already been uttered. I have programmed a bit in java already, and I never liked it. I find it cumbersome and boring. Although I can certainly do that if I am forced to, I want to avoid it at (nearly) all cost. But I don't have enough experience to plead effectively against it. I doubt that intuition and aesthetic inclinations are really convincing arguments. So, I'd like to ask twisted enthiusiasts with better knowledge and experience of J2EE than I have, if they could provide meaningful points for advocating python/twisted over J2EE, pro and cons for each. My main argument so far is that I am *way* more fluent in python, so I am more likely to come up with a prototype quickly. Also, the flexibility of python makes early refactoring much easier, and it is always possible to reimplement things in another language once the architecture stabilizes. I also think python is more portable than java, but that would sound a bit anecdotal. Thanks for your input. Eric.

[Twisted-Python] Re: recommended twisted database coding
by Ed Suominen June 8, 2006

June 8, 2006

From: Thomas Vander Stichele <thomas(a)apestaart.org> > Are there any active projects that use a database backend, twisted, > persistent objects, and are freely available, that I can sneak a peek at > for my further education ? Take a look at my sAsync ("SQLAlchemy made Asynchronous") project at http://foss.eepatents.com/sAsync/. I think it does a lot of what you're looking for. I've got the lower-level foundation code unit tested and working fine, and am currently working on higher-level stuff like an asynchronously-accessible persistent "name:value" item store and a persistent dictionary that uses it. The object you'll most want to get familiar with if you use sAsync is "AccessBroker" in the "database" module [1]. The synchronous-to-asynchronous interface problem, which must be dealt with by any Twisted-compatible DB-API that doesn't do the low-level network file or connections entirely on its own, is addressed in what I like to think is a pretty cool fashion via a priority queue that runs in a single, dedicated worker thread. See the "syncbridge" module for details [2]. By popular demand (well, one user to be exact), I've included a mildly informative "Usage" document at the site that may help explain how and why to use sAsync. Best regards, Ed Suominen -------------------------------------------- [1] http://foss.eepatents.com/sAsync/browser/trunk/sasync/database.py [2] http://foss.eepatents.com/sAsync/browser/trunk/sasync/syncbridge.py

[Twisted-Python] Do Twisted support LMTP servers?
by Jesus Cea June 6, 2006

June 6, 2006

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Twisted is very extensive in protocol support, managing smtp, pop3 and imap4, for example. I was wondering if there is any LMTP server project out there. It should be fairly simple, since LMTP is very very similar to usual SMTP. I need to use LMTP for a local project, and I was wondering if tiwsted could be used to fill this gap. - -- Jesus Cea Avion _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ jcea(a)argo.es http://www.argo.es/~jcea/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ jabber / xmpp:jcea@jabber.org _/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "Things are not so easy" _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "My name is Dump, Core Dump" _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "El amor es poner tu felicidad en la felicidad de otro" - Leibniz -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQCVAwUBRDb7+plgi5GaxT1NAQK4rQP9EDdkMc0b83teXKB/XM22fV2gq3z/uEj1 RBjeHGSPOs5ogg1+/E4eiq8vq83mNTBDzxVJriN20UbrHgOcC+kBjfnCB8MCPnER 1tEorRnb19Siy+xnu0+rJ3XtNLJXJubMiXxm/5ig27Hl+UChnQLCthiqL1h0P22/ yi9LCprkRZ4= =fG6b -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[Twisted-Python] Newbie Q: The first example in Fettig's book confused me
by Mike Meng June 5, 2006

June 5, 2006

Hi all, I'm a new Python programmer and just picked up Abe Fettig's "Twisted" book. I tried out the first example, which use reactor.run() to drive printTime and stopReactor callback functions to print time, and found some strange things. I wrote the code in a .py file and run it, it's fine. However, when I tried to write the code in interactive mode and run it from IDLE shell window, all the four printTime were called at once. Why? Thank you in advance. The session is listed here: >>> from twisted.internet import reactor >>> import time >>> def printTime(): print "Current time is ", time.strftime("%H:%M:%S") >>> def stopReactor(): printTime() print "Stopping reactor" reactor.stop() >>> reactor.callLater(1, printTime) <twisted.internet.base.DelayedCall instance at 0x00D9E288> >>> reactor.callLater(2, printTime) <twisted.internet.base.DelayedCall instance at 0x00E42210> >>> reactor.callLater(3, printTime) <twisted.internet.base.DelayedCall instance at 0x00DF8BC0> >>> reactor.callLater(4, printTime) <twisted.internet.base.DelayedCall instance at 0x00C74760> >>> reactor.callLater(5, stopReactor) <twisted.internet.base.DelayedCall instance at 0x0132E738> >>> reactor.run() Current time is 09:06:52 Current time is 09:06:52 Current time is 09:06:52 Current time is 09:06:52 Current time is 09:06:52 Stopping reactor

[Twisted-Python] ftpclient question
by Michele Petrazzo June 5, 2006

June 5, 2006

Hi list, I'm making some tries with the ftpclient.py example and I don't know how to handle the "login error" state (and other errors): if I use a correct name/passwd, the .pwd/.nlst functions work, but if I use a wrong one, I receive "only": """ [Failure instance: Traceback (failure with no frames): twisted.protocols.ftp.ConnectionLost: ('FTP connection lost', <twisted.python.failure.Failure twisted.protocols.ftp.CommandFailed>) ] """ that not mean "wrong username or password"! Where I can find more useful error-descriptions? P.s. There is a "global" solution for the "error-descriptions" on FTPClient class? I'm making a lot of tries with .list function (with a not exits path) and others, but all say me a "unreadable" errors. Thanks, Michele
