Hi all, i think i'm not doing things in the right way: http://paste.debian.net/59855/ this code implement a simple jabber client, if you remove the class defnition and run it (removing also the run def) it works! but if i 'class' it and run via: http://paste.debian.net/59856/ reactor.run() hangs. where i'm wrong? thank you in advance, -- ciao, giskard

[Twisted-Python] newbie confusion - puzzling reactor response

by K. Richard Pixley

I'm confused be the response I get to the attached program. In a nutshell, I'm building a reader, attaching it with addReader, later removing it with removeReader. And I'm getting this: time python test_reactor.py Traceback (most recent call last): Failure: twisted.internet.error.ConnectionFdescWentAway: Uh: Filedescriptor went away. Which seems to be telling me that I don't know as much yet as I'd hoped. Why would the reactor care about a closed file descriptor that isn't even in it's interest set? --rich #!/usr/bin/env python # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import os from zope.interface import implements from twisted.internet import reactor from twisted.internet.interfaces import IReadDescriptor class inputFile(object): implements(IReadDescriptor) def __init__(self, filename): self.filename = filename self.filedes = os.open(filename, os.O_RDONLY | os.O_NONBLOCK) reactor.addReader(self) def fileno(self): return self.filedes def connectionLost(self, reason): raise reason def logPrefix(self): return 'inputFile' def doRead(self): reactor.removeReader(self) os.close(self.filedes) self.filedes = -1 reactor.stop() if __name__ == '__main__': r = inputFile('/etc/group') reactor.addReader(r) reactor.run()

[Twisted-Python] How can I send unique configuration data for multiple connections through a factory?

by Mark Bailey

Good day: I've been having fun with Twisted. I have my application running fine, with multiple server and client connections using Telnet. :-) However, users always want something. I need to send some unique configuration information to each connection. The connections are made using connectTCP. My first attempt assumed that the connection was made when the call to connectTCP was executed. It didn't work! :-( ------------------------------- from twisted.internet.protocol import ClientFactory from twisted.internet import reactor from twisted.conch.telnet import StatefulTelnetProtocol class testClient(StatefulTelnetProtocol): def connectionMade(self): self.title = self.factory.connectString print "Client Connected: " + self.title self.setRawMode() self.factory.connections.append(self) def connectionLost(self, reason): if self in self.factory.connections: self.factory.connections.remove(self) def rawDataReceived(self,data): print data + "\n" class ClusterClientFactory(ClientFactory): protocol = testClient def __init__(self): self.connections = [] self.connectString = '' def startFactory(self): print "startFactory: " + self.connectString def startedConnecting(self, connector): print "Started connecting: " + str(connector) print self.connectString def buildProtocol(self, addr): print "bulldProtocol: " + str(addr) print "buildProtocol: " + self.connectString p = self.protocol() p.factory = self return p if __name__ == '__main__': def startUp(): factory = ClusterClientFactory() factory.maxDelay = 120 # two minutes factory.connectString = "FirstString..." reactor.connectTCP("localhost", 7300, factory) factory.connectString = "SecondString" reactor.connectTCP("localhost", 7300, factory) reactor.callWhenRunning(startUp) reactor.run() ---------------------------------- The results are that buildProtocol gets the second string both times. startedConnecting gets the correct string, but all I have there is a connection object. I need the correct data in buildProtocol to do it this way. ------------------------------------ C:\Users\Mark\src\play>python testclient.py startFactory: FirstString... Started connecting: <twisted.internet.tcp.Connector instance at 0x01DAB620> FirstString... Started connecting: <twisted.internet.tcp.Connector instance at 0x01E0EFD0> SecondString bulldProtocol: IPv4Address(TCP, '127.0.0.1', 7300) buildProtocol: SecondString Client Connected: SecondString Welcome to SimpleServer5 bulldProtocol: IPv4Address(TCP, '127.0.0.1', 7300) buildProtocol: SecondString Client Connected: SecondString Welcome to SimpleServer5 -------------------------- My "best" idea is to pass the strings to the factory in a dictionary indexed by the IP address and the port. Then, buildProtocol() can use that to recover the string and I can use reactor.resolve() to translate the host name to the IP address. The real application won't have multiple connections to the same host and port like this example, so this would work. There MUST be a better way. :-) My "simpleserver" is below if you want to run this. THANKS for all of your help. I have the basic application running now (including a Tkinter GUI :-) ) and Twisted has saved me hundreds or even thousands of lines of code... Mark Bailey ------------------------------ from twisted.conch.telnet import StatefulTelnetProtocol from twisted.internet import reactor, protocol from twisted.protocols.basic import LineReceiver class TelnetEcho(StatefulTelnetProtocol): def connectionMade(self): self.factory.connection.append(self) self.sendLine("Welcome to SimpleServer5\r\n") def lineReceived(self, data): data = data.rstrip('\n\r') if data.upper() == 'BYE': self.sendLine("Goodbye...\r") self.transport.loseConnection() else: self.sendLine("Unrecognized command: %r\r" % (data,)) def connectionLost(self, reason): self.factory.connection.remove(self) class TelnetEchoFactory(protocol.Factory): protocol = TelnetEcho def __init__(self): self.connection = [] def createTelnetServer(port=7300): telnetinstance = TelnetEchoFactory() # needs to be a list reactor.listenTCP(port,telnetinstance) if __name__ == "__main__": reactor.callWhenRunning(createTelnetServer) reactor.run()

[Twisted-Python] Light-est-weight http authentication

by Brad Milne

I have a backend Twisted application with a front end in Django. Some of their communication is via web services. Currently they are deployed on the same box but may be separated in future. I want to enforce some basic authentication on the web services, so some lightweight http header authentication looks best. I've found the twisted.web.guard api, but it seems to be more heavyweight than I require (e.g. running up a Portal). Given the breadth of the Twisted apis, I'm confident I wouldn't have to hand-craft something to check the auth header myself. What do you guys suggest? Thanks Brad

[Twisted-Python] Error handling for modules which use twisted.enterprise.adbapi

by Vishal Shetye

Hi, I have an application that uses twisted.enterprise.adbapi for accessing sqlite database. Recently I had to replace sqlite3 shipped with python 2.5 with latest version of pysqlite2. This was for taking advantage of newer fixes in pysqlite2. I thought it would be worthwhile to support both. However, functions called using runInteraction have a code block as given below. try: txn.execute(“update query”) except sqlite3.IntegrityError: handleDuplicateValues() or an errback on the function runQuery/Interaction/Operation. They all used twisted.python.failure.check/trap on some exception of the form sqlite3.some_dbapi_exception. Now, all such places need to import exceptions from pysqlite2 instead of sqlite3. However, to handle multiple dbapi modules one of which will be configured for use by the user, I thought, I will have a global name having reference of the current dbapi module being used. This will be used by errbacks and except blocks. Is there a better way of handling exceptions in such cases? I came across http://svn.sqlalchemy.org/sqlalchemy/trunk/lib/sqlalchemy/exc.py. I think sqlalchemy wraps dbapi erros in DBAPIError exception. I imagine doing something similar in twisted as, try: txn.execute(“update query”) except adbapi.IntegrityError: handleDuplicateValues() I also came across http://mail.python.org/pipermail/db-sig/2003-September/003686.html which suggests exceptions raised by different modules for same type of error may not be consistent, atleast with respect to the information provided. Any suggestions on this would be very helpful. Just to note http://twistedsphinx.funsize.net/projects/core/howto/rdbms.html does not have error handling related info. -- vishal shetye

[Twisted-Python] Handling exceptions in twisted.internet.udp?

by Attila Nagy

Hello, I have a code, which opens persistent (connected, see: http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/core/howto/udp.html#auto2) UDP connections, and sends and receives data on them. The problem is that occasionally I receive ICMP 13 (administratively prohibited) errors from the destinations, which triggers and exception and closes the UDP socket. I would like to keep that open, no matter what happens. On FreeBSD the exception comes during writing into the socket with transport.write, so this is an easy one. But on Linux it's a little bit harder, because there I get exception not during writing, but reading, which is handled here: http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/browser/tags/releases/twisted-9.0.0/twisted/i… The exception looks like this: 2010-02-08 12:09:15+0100 [-] reactor class: twisted.internet.selectreactor.SelectReactor. 2010-02-08 12:10:22+0100 [__builtin__.connectedUDP (UDP)] Unhandled Error Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/Twisted-9.0.0_r27775-py2.6-linux-x86_64.egg/twisted/python/log.py", line 84, in callWithLogger return callWithContext({"system": lp}, func, *args, **kw) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/Twisted-9.0.0_r27775-py2.6-linux-x86_64.egg/twisted/python/log.py", line 69, in callWithContext return context.call({ILogContext: newCtx}, func, *args, **kw) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/Twisted-9.0.0_r27775-py2.6-linux-x86_64.egg/twisted/python/context.py", line 59, in callWithContext return self.currentContext().callWithContext(ctx, func, *args, **kw) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/Twisted-9.0.0_r27775-py2.6-linux-x86_64.egg/twisted/python/context.py", line 37, in callWithContext return func(*args,**kw) --- <exception caught here> --- File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/Twisted-9.0.0_r27775-py2.6-linux-x86_64.egg/twisted/internet/selectreactor.py", line 146, in _doReadOrWrite why = getattr(selectable, method)() File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/Twisted-9.0.0_r27775-py2.6-linux-x86_64.egg/twisted/internet/udp.py", line 109, in doRead data, addr = self.socket.recvfrom(self.maxPacketSize) socket.error: [Errno 113] No route to host I wonder what is the preferred way of achieving that the socket will be write()-able and kept open regardless what ICMP or other sending or receiving error occurs?

[Twisted-Python] domish.Element.__getattr__() or xpath.XPathQuery

by Gabriel Rossetti

Hello everyone, I was wondering what you would recommend, accessing nodes via domish.Element.__getattr__() (e.g. el.node1.node1_1, where el is /msg) or via xpath.XPathQuery() (e.g. xpath.XPathQuery("/msg/node1/node1_1").queryForNodes(el)[0])? I was wondering which would be faster, the __getattr__() is O(n) (in my example there are 2 calls) but what about xpath.XPathQuery()? Thank you, Gabriel
