[Twisted-Python] Buildbot downtime
by Tom Prince March 3, 2022

March 3, 2022

I am plannig to upgrade twisted's buildbot in the near future. In preperation for that, I am going to take down the production buildbot on Tuesday, June 26, around 1600 UTC[1]. During that time, the result of any builds done will be lost. Thus, I'd ask that people avoid committing to trunk during that time. I will send a reminder before I take down the buildbot both here, and on #twisted and #twisted-dev. Tom [1] http://timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingtime.html?iso=20120626&p1=80&p2=22…

[Twisted-Python] Twisted Python 0.7.0 Prerelease Testing
by Glyph Lefkowitz Aug. 5, 2021

Aug. 5, 2021

hi there, folks: I'd really like to release 0.7.0 but I would like it to be at least a little bit tested before I do so. Could those of you with CVS trees check everything out and see if it performs as advertised? Deeper bugs than that will have to wait for the next release, but I'd at least like to know if it works for someone other than me. Thanks. ______ __ __ _____ _ _ | ____ | \_/ |_____] |_____| |_____| |_____ | | | | @ t w i s t e d m a t r i x . c o m http://www.twistedmatrix.com/~glyph/

[Twisted-Python] [ANN] txZMQ released
by Andrey Smirnov July 21, 2014

July 21, 2014

Hi! I would like to announce txZMQ, ZeroMQ bindings for Twisted. txZMQ is based on pyzmq and requires recent ØMQ version (>=2.1). txZMQ uses ØMQ APIs to get file descriptor that is used to signal pending actions from ØMQ library IO thread running in separate thread. txZMQ should be usable with any Twisted reactor. ØMQ is: * The socket library that acts as a concurrency framework. * Carries messages across inproc, IPC, TCP, and multicast. * Connect N-to-N via fanout, pubsub, pipeline, request-reply. * Fast enough for clustered products and supercomputing. * Asynch I/O for scalable multicore message-passing apps. Bridging ØMQ and Twisted makes a nice match: fast simple messaging between Twisted instances solving complex problems :) Links: * PyPi: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/txZMQ/ * Source code: https://github.com/smira/pyzmq * pyzmq: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyzmq * ØMQ: http://www.zeromq.org/ -- Andrey Smirnov, Qik Web Team Lead

[Twisted-Python] How do I write AMP Command definitions TTD-edly?
by Laurens Van Houtven May 3, 2013

May 3, 2013

Hi, I have no issue writing AMP responders TTD-edly, they work pretty much the way any other code would. However, I did notice that the only way I'd notice if my Command definitions themselves were broken were if my functional tests start failing. It would be nice if I could write unit test driven Command specifications, as well. The quickest I could come up with was to call makeArguments/makeResponse with a few known-good/known-bad dictionaries, and see if it blows up. Is there a smarter way to do it? -- cheers lvh

This solution didn't work because 'transport' isn't a property of the Example class.

[Twisted-Python] Twisted source, changes and social analysis
by Jonathan Stoppani April 17, 2013

April 17, 2013

Hello everybody (with access to the Trac DB), I am currently doing my master thesis on the "analysis and management of change propagation in complex systems". I'm concentrating my efforts on software-based complex systems. As part of my analysis, I gather data from different domains, such as dependencies between modules of the source code, interactions between people (like, for example, this mailing list) and change requests (in this specific case, issues and tickets on an issue tracking system). A couple of weeks ago I asked on IRC if it would be possible to get the Trac data from twistedmatrix.com and I was told to write a script to dump the database by excluding sensitive information. The script is up for review and auditing over here: https://gist.github.com/GaretJax/5264941 It can be run by saving it to a .py file or directly with the following command: curl -s https://gist.github.com/GaretJax/5264941/raw/c478c2c4ec39cdb4bc3ceeb05d57a3… | python - <projenv> <outfile> (by replacing the two arguments: trac base directory and the output file). There are no privacy concerns, as all data being analyzes is publicly available, either in the repository, in the mailing list archives or on twistedmatrix.com After being reviewed, can someone with access to the server please run it for me? Thanks, Jonathan P.S.: If someone would like more details about the research, a draft of the project statement can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qu3jpxcd4wpat2i/statement-0-r0-2013-03-19.pdf

[Twisted-Python] Weta Digital is hiring
by Donal McMullan March 30, 2013

March 30, 2013

"Weta Digital is a world leading visual effects company based in Wellington, New Zealand." The "Production Engineer" roles on our jobs page are heavily Python focused. Some of that Python code will be inside applications like Autodesk's Maya or the Foundry's Nuke, but most of it will solve the kinds of problems I'm sure most of you work on routinely. http://www.wetafx.co.nz/jobs For example, because our render farm is on the large side, we face many of the challenges of scale that those of you who work on internet-facing applications will be familiar with. On the client side, we have an ocean of data to track, and we try to provide our artists with simple tools to get the most from that data. Frameworks like PySide, Bottle and TxWeb help us to get there. Unsurprisingly, Twisted is well established in the pipeline at Weta, and it's used in a diverse set of client, server and automated/unattended applications. We've had superb service from Twisted, and we only expect itsusage here to grow. We have roles in Production Engineering that we'd like to fill as soon as we can, but we're protective of the great team that we have, and we try to grow it carefully. We prefer to wait for the right people. If you're interested in helping us to deliver some extraordinary software and film projects, we'd love to hear from you, and the recruitment form on our site takes just a few minutes to fill in. http://www.wetafx.co.nz/recruitment-form.php?job-title=Production%20Enginee…<http://www-ext.wetafx.co.nz/recruitment-form.php?job-title=Production%20Eng…> Thank you Donal McMullan Senior Production Engineer Weta Digital http://www.wetafx.co.nz

[Twisted-Python] is twisted compatible with pickle?

March 29, 2013

I have made 2 application: The client extract data from a sql server (10k lines), and send every line pickled to a "collector" server via socket.The server uses twisted and receive every line, unpikle it and store the data in another sql server. Everytime i start sending data from client to server, in the first 200 line (everytime a different line) **the server** throws an exception:SOMETIMES it something like: Traceback (most recent call last): File "collector2.py", line 81, in dataReceived self.count,account = pickle.loads(data) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/pickle.py", line 1374, in loads return Unpickler(file).load() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/pickle.py", line 858, in load dispatch[key](self) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/pickle.py", line 1138, in load_pop del self.stack[-1] IndexError: list assignment index out of range But it's NOT every time the same.

[Twisted-Python] Problems with TLS connection not shutting down.
by Michael Williamson March 28, 2013

March 28, 2013

Hi, I'm having an issue where a tls connection never seems to shutdown properly, and as a result, all the associated cleanup never happens. Basically we're trying to implement a jabber client and allow the user to sign out and then re-sign back in without completely quitting the program. When the user tries to sign back in, Twisted goes nuts because the original connection was never shutdown properly. So, I traced through the code with the debugger and I came to the _shutdownTLS() function in tls.py. I believe that what's supposed to happen is that the first time through, the self._tlsConnection.shutdown() returns False because the shutdown is initiated. Then, when the 2nd part of the shutdown handshake comes back from the server, dataReceived is called, which calls shutdownTLS again, and then the cleanup can continue. The problem is that after the initial call to shutdownTLS, I never see anymore data from the server. I'm not sure if it's a server issue (we're just connecting to the Google jabber servers) where they don't close down their SSL connections correctly, or if I'm just doing something silly. So anyway, I could solve this by overriding a bunch of stuff and ensuring that self.transport.loseConnection() gets called no matter what, even when the server doesn't respond with the second part of the close handshake, but I figured I'd ask here first. So, any TLS experts out there? Thanks for any help or information - I really appreciate it, Mike

[Twisted-Python] Lore and generating reStructuredText (Lore2Sphinx)
by Kevin Horn March 27, 2013

March 27, 2013

tl;dr A Lore plugin won't work for generating Sphinx source files, at least not by itself. Itamar posted some notes from the Twisted BoF session that was held at PyCon last weekend, and one of the things in it was the following line: - lore output plugin that generates ReST via docutils parse tree objects, then write code to run sphinx on this output I wasn't there, so I don't know the exact context that this was referring to, but let me try to explain a little bit about why this won't work (at least not as written). reStructuredText, as some of you may know, creates it's output by first creating an intermediate representation of a document called a "node tree", which is a tree of "nodes" which represents the various elements in a document (text, paragraphs, lists, list items, etc.). reStructuredText also has a construct called a "directive", which is some markup which tells the docutils reST parser to create a bunch of these nodes. Directives are awesome and are a big reason why reStructuredText is so much more powerful than other lightweight markup languages like markdown, textile, etc. They serve as extension point and allow users to create their own markup constructs without changing the actual parser. The key thing is that a directive is not itself a type of node. Rather it 's just a markup construct. This means that once a reStructuredText document goes through the docutils parser, the information about the directives is lost, because they have been transformed into a bunch of nodes. For example there's a container directive, which looks like this: Title ===== .. container:: I'm a content paragraph! Yay! When processed this creates a nodetree that looks something like this (in docutils "pseudoxml" representation: <document ids="title" names="title" source="test.rst" title="Title"> <title> Title <container> <paragraph> I'm a content paragraph! Yay! It is entirely coincidental that the container directive and the <container> node are named the same thing. Don't let this confuse you. The point is that the directive goes away and is replaced by a bunch of nodes (more specifically, the node tree is transformed in some way...I suppose a directive could remove nodes, but I don't think I've ever seen that done). We can see this using another example: Here's some markup: Title ===== .. warning:: I'm a content paragraph! Yay! and here's the pseudoxml representation of the nodetree: <document ids="title" names="title" source="test.rst" title="Title"> <title> Title <container> <paragraph> I'm a content paragraph! Yay! Notice that the node trees look exactly the same. Now this is not quite true, as there's probably some attributes on the actual Python nodes that might be used to distinguish them when writing output which aren't displayed here...they certainly get rendered into HTML differently. But the point is that the directive itself is GONE and you have no real way of recreating it from the node tree. I think this problem also happens with custom text roles, which is another extension mechanism in reST, but I haven't looked too deeply into that. Since you really, really want to have directives in your output (in fact you have to have them if you want to use Sphinx, which makes heavy use of them), you can't really generate Sphinx-capable source files using _only_ the nodetree representation. I suppose you might be able to do something where you try to detect where the directive _should_ go and try to insert it during the rendering step, but such a thing would be an egregious kludge, would take a lot of effort, and I can't imagine it would work very well, if at all. Another option would be to fork the distutils parser and change it so that it could create "directive nodes" or something, but I certainly would not recommend such a course. (If you think maintaining Lore is a pain, you ain't seen nothin' yet. And one thing this project has driven home to me is that no software only needs to be maintained "for a little while".) I'm not saying that the proposed plugin for lore is a bad idea...I think it would be pretty cool. You'd be able to send lore out to all of the various formats supported by docutils, and who doesn't want to write their next s5 presentaton in Lore, right? :) But it won't do the job that it was being put forward for in the note Itamar mentioned. So what about building some software that generates some other representation of the source document, and then renders that as reStructuredText? Well this is the best idea I've come up with (or heard) and is in fact exactly what lore2sphinx-ng_ (which is not intended to be a separate thing, it's just an experimental fork of lore2sphinx) and rstgen_ do. lore2spinx-ng creates the representation from lore sources (which is also a tree of "nodes", though they aren't called that), and rstgen defines the nodes, and renders them into reStructuredText source. The only problem is that these aren't done yet, though the work done so far looks very promising (in terms of actually being able to do the job reliably someday). If anyone has bothered to read this far and is interested in helping out, please feel free to fork the repos and lend a hand. Also feel free to contact me either on this list or directly if you have any questions. I apologize in advance for the current state of the code, which is a bit messy (especially lore2sphinx-ng, which still has a bunch of cruft from the "old"/"current" version that I haven't gotten around to removing yet). .. _lore2sphinx-ng: https://bitbucket.org/khorn/lore2sphinx-ng .. _rstgen:https://bitbucket.org/khorn/rstgen -- Kevin Horn

[Twisted-Python] GitHub Twisted organization/repo
by Adi Roiban March 27, 2013

March 27, 2013

Hi, Are there any plans with the Twisted repo from GitHub? https://github.com/twisted/twisted Looks like it was not updated in a while. Garret Heaton is already doing a 15min mirroring of master/trunk https://github.com/powdahound/twisted Both repos have a couple of forks and it would be nice if all forks are from the same repo. I prefer and use GitHub code browsing since it is much faster than Twisted's official Trac code browsing. --------------- I now see that Tom Prince has already created git branches on GitHub for the ticket he is reviewing. Many thanks! I have already started creating git branches on GitHub for all my patched for Twisted. I found it much pleasant to send a "live patch" URL rather than a static attached diff file. Ex live diff: https://github.com/chevah/twisted/compare/chevah:master...chevah:5411-ftp-l… Append .diff to the url and you have a patch file: https://github.com/chevah/twisted/compare/chevah:master...chevah:5411-ftp-l… As a non-commiter for SVN this makes my life much more easier. Manually creating diff and attaching them to a slow Trac can cause a bit of frustration... but I always find to hard to follow a SVN branch that was created for at ticket and manually apply diffs on local copies. I find it very hard to work in parallel on more than 4 tickets and tracking diffs outside of SVN/GIT is not fun. I understand that moving from SVN to GIT is not easy and if core developers can create and share SVN branches there is no big inconvenience. For me, as a non-commiter, contributing to Twisted is not fun. Sorry for bothering you with my frustrations. I hope that you find the feedback useful, otherwise feel free to ignore it :) -- Adi Roiban

[Twisted-Python] So... Python 3.4 is getting its own async I/O system
by Tim Allen March 25, 2013

March 25, 2013

In Guido's keynote at PyCon 2013, apparently he talked about adding an async I/O module to Python 3.4. It looks like his slides can be viewed here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xknbe58zcvjhzhv/PyCon2013.pptx ...while this is the PEP he's talking about: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3156/ At first glance, the proposed reactor API looks very much like Twisted's (or, to be fair, GTK's, or possibly any number of other async event loop I'm less familiar with) but rather than Deferreds and callbacks, the API will be based around Futures (similar, but not identical, to Python 3.2's concurrent.futures.Future class), and an inlineCallbacks-style decorator for generators. I know Deferreds are awesome, and I don't know much about Futures (and I know Twisted core developers have given negative reviews of other Deferred/Promise/Future implementations in, say, JavaScript libraries before), and inlineCallbacks seems to have a negative reputation among experienced Twisted users. Is there anybody on this list who knows more about this new PEP (maybe somebody who's at PyCon and saw the talk in person) who can give us an informed comparison with the current state of Twisted?

[Twisted-Python] debugging listenTCP
by Matthew Pounsett March 24, 2013

March 24, 2013

I've got a weird one here. I've just come back to some code that I haven't worked on in a while, which is a simple XMLRPC server. Last time I touched it I was working on adding cred support, so I'd gone from using a direct call to server.Site() in my listenTCP call to using my own factory/portal/etc. When I fired it up this time, listenTCP was failing to bind to the requested ports, but not raising an exception. I started writing up an email to ask about debugging this, but while doing information collection it started working again. Then not. Now it's working again. It looks like I've got some sort of intermittent failure, but I have no idea how to track it down. # 'interfaces' is just a simple list of IP addresses. The map() # call provides formatting for the log message logger.debug("Connecting to port {} on interfaces: {}".format( port, ", ".join(map( lambda x: "'{}'".format(x), interfaces)))) for iface in interfaces: reactor.listenTCP(port, factory, interface=iface) reactor.run() The application should bind to [::1]:8602 and 127.0.0.1:8602, and logging seems to indicate this is what it's trying to do. 01:28:31 [server ] Connecting to port 8602 on interfaces: '::1', '127.0.0.1' However, intermittently lsof and netstat are showing no binding. > netstat -an | grep -c 8602 0 I tried turning on twisted's internal logging, but that is giving me nothing useful. I see no way to turn up the debugging level on this log, but I normally use python's standard logger and perhaps I've missed some piece of documentation. This is a sample from when it was failing: 2013-03-12 01:28:31+0000 [-] Log opened. 2013-03-12 01:28:31+0000 [-] ServerFactory starting on 8602 2013-03-12 01:28:31+0000 [-] Starting factory <insurrection.server.ServerFactory instance at 0x85a81488> 2013-03-12 01:28:31+0000 [-] ServerFactory starting on 8602 Can anyone suggest anything more I can do to track down the problem next time it crops up?

I'm thinking maybe that the "pause" is being called and that my request deferred is in a paused state.

[Twisted-Python] Twisted Visualizations
by anatoly techtonik March 18, 2013

March 18, 2013

Hi, I always thought that there is not enough art in STEM education, and looking at how the STEAM powered education gains momentum, I can not resist to throw in the idea to the Python community. STEAM = (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) So far, the PyCon has talks that cover everything above around the core, but not really much of A stuff. To me it would be interesting to see the visualization of Twisted, the visualization of Stackless, the visualization of how source code transforms to data and code sections in memory and how the data is processed in this memory. That may not be strictly related to the Python, but it is vital for Python development that people know how things work starting from the moment they press a key to launch a Python interpreter. That's the first thing people do - they touch the key on a keyboard. That's the entrypoint . For the people who want to start with Python it will be interesting to see how systems work in 3D, 2D or any other xD that is accepted by human brain (even in 1D if we can accept the idea of a simple scroller for Python source code). It will be interesting to see open source visualization models that many people can iterate on and improve in parts. I imagine some things to a some degree and can draw some sketches on paper, but what would be awesome if people at PyCon could use the chance to gather together and discuss the idea from the perspective of folks with visual arts experience (Blender, ...) - will those twisted visualizations be awesome? Will they be useful? Interesting for artists? What could happen to make them possible and the whole process fun. -- anatoly t.

[Twisted-Python] Jabber client, tls and iqauth
by rakdeFR March 18, 2013

March 18, 2013

Hi! I did some searches about my problem and didn't find any thing that match in the archives. I'm trying to do a simple jabber client with the twisted framework in order to automatically send messages. The server is a prosody server, and enabled the tls and iq auth. So far, I can connect to the server, and can't login. If I'm doing a XmlStreamFactory with the basicClientFactory, I have these initializers/authenticator: Initializers [<twisted.words.protocols.jabber.xmlstream.TLSInitiatingInitializer object at 0x2c1ef50>, <twisted.words.protocols.jabber.client.IQAuthInitializer object at 0x2c1ef90>] Authenticator <twisted.words.protocols.jabber.client.BasicAuthenticator instance at 0x10f2320> And if I create a XMPPClientFactory, I have these: Initializers [<twisted.words.protocols.jabber.client.CheckVersionInitializer object at 0x2fe7f50>, <twisted.words.protocols.jabber.xmlstream.TLSInitiatingInitializer object at 0x2fe7fd0>, <twisted.words.protocols.jabber.sasl.SASLInitiatingInitializer object at 0x2ff1050>, <twisted.words.protocols.jabber.client.BindInitializer object at 0x2ff1090>, <twisted.words.protocols.jabber.client.SessionInitializer object at 0x2ff10d0>] Authenticator <twisted.words.protocols.jabber.client.XMPPAuthenticator instance at 0x2fdd320> So I look up the SEND and RECV message between the client and server, and I notice that if I do a XMPPClientFactory, it's doing a tls connection, then say it doesn't have the feature for iq auth. And if I'm doing a basicClientFactory, I don't have the tls, so when it tries to logon with iq, the server answers that it needs the tls. After noticing that, I tried to change the initializers and the authenticator in the connected function. But when I'm doing a XMPPClientFactory with a BasicAuthenticator, I don't have the tls anymore. What do I need to change in order to have the tls and after the iq auth? Thank you for your help. rkadeFR My current code: 19 class ClientXMPP(object): 20 def __init__(self, jid_user, password_user): 21 self.reactor = reactor 22 XmlStreamFactory = client.basicClientFactory(jid_user, password_user) 23 XmlStreamFactory.addBootstrap(xmlstream.STREAM_CONNECTED_EVENT, self.connected) 24 XmlStreamFactory.addBootstrap(xmlstream.STREAM_END_EVENT, self.disconnected) 25 XmlStreamFactory.addBootstrap(xmlstream.STREAM_AUTHD_EVENT, self.authenticated) 26 XmlStreamFactory.addBootstrap(xmlstream.INIT_FAILED_EVENT, self.init_failed) 27 connector = SRVConnector(reactor, 'xmpp-client', jid_user.host, XmlStreamFactory) 28 connector.connect() 29 self.finished = Deferred() 30 31 def rawDataIn(self, buf): 32 print "RECV: %s" % unicode(buf, 'utf-8').encode('ascii', 'replace') 33 34 def rawDataOut(self, buf): 35 print "SEND: %s" % unicode(buf, 'utf-8').encode('ascii', 'replace') 36 37 def connected(self, xs): 38 xs.rawDataInFn = self.rawDataIn 39 xs.rawDataOutFn = self.rawDataOut 40 print 'Connected.' 41 self.xmlstream = xs 42 # 43 print 'Initializers', xs.initializers 44 print 'Authenticator', xs.authenticator 45 print 'Am I initialized?', xs.initiating 46 # Log trafic out 47 48 def disconnected(self, xs): 49 print 'Disconnected.' 50 self.finished.callback(None) 51 52 def authenticated(self, xs): 53 print "Authenticated." 54 presence = domish.Element((None, 'presence')) 55 xs.send(presence) 56 self.reactor.callLater(5, xs.sendFooter) 57 58 def send(self, message): 59 print 'Send', message 60 61 def init_failed(self, failure): 62 print "Initialization failed.

[Twisted-Python] Final request URI from an Agent response
by Jonathan Jacobs March 18, 2013

March 18, 2013

Hello Twisters, I'm interested in working on ticket #5435: The ability to discover the final URI of an Agent request/response. Thomas summarised a previous IRC conversation on this topic quite well in a comment on the ticket [1]. The biggest issue I've encountered so far is that Request.uri is a relative URI. Since it is not possible to reconstruct an absolute URI given the information that Request has, at the very least the URI scheme is lost, we have a few options: * Allow Request.uri to be either an absolute URI or a relative URI byte string, however this means that consumers of this attribute need to be aware that it could be either; * Add a new attribute/method to Request (and parameter to Request.__init__) for the absolute URI, again this means that consumers need to be aware that the absolute URI might not be present. If we are to change Request's URI API, it would be a good idea to do this as few times as possible. (One seems like a good number to me.) JP commented that it would be nice if there was an object that represented a URL we could use, referring to ticket #5388. And although I would love to see #5388 finished (and might even be persuaded to work on it), discussions with Itamar and reading ticket comments have left me weary of the many nuanced complexities of this task. What are the thoughts on changing the meaning of Request.uri? Should the IRI branch be finished before attempting this ticket? (Note that this doesn't necessarily include my volunteering.)

[Twisted-Python] Let's talk about maintaining Lore (and validity of tickets)
by Glyph March 16, 2013

March 16, 2013

Jean-Paul recently closed a Lore ticket as invalid, and suggested we have a discussion about Lore's future direction. This strikes me as a very good idea, and so I wrote a message which is a bit too long (for which I apologize) to kick that off. The discussion began here: <http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/6313#comment:7>. In said suggestion, JP said: > I am rejecting this Lore feature as unnecessary for Twisted's current documentation needs. With regard to this specific point: the bug was discovered when building the documentation for the systemd-howto-5601 branch: <https://buildbot.twistedmatrix.com/builders/documentation/builds/2919/>. Presumably a better error would have facilitated development. So, while better error reporting of this error case may not be "necessary" I think it clearly would have been beneficial in this case and would perhaps be beneficial in similar cases in the future. Is necessity or benefit the standard which keeps a ticket open in our tracker? Do we have a documented standard for how necessary (or beneficial) a ticket must be anywhere? > However if there is genuine interest in enhancing Lore (specifically: obsoleting the lore2sphinx conversion tool), then I'm open to reconsidering that. I don't think these two paths (lore2sphinx and continuing to maintain lore) are necessarily mutually exclusive. Also I think it implies something about the current state of affairs that isn't accurate - e.g. that the Twisted team has agreed that Sphinx will surely replace Lore and that we are making progress on that process of placement more than we are maintaining Lore itself. Unfortunately, I think it will be clear to anyone following its progress that lore2sphinx is unmaintained and the sphinx migration effort is stalled. Nobody has committed to <https://bitbucket.org/khorn/lore2sphinx> in a year and a half, about the same amount of time that <http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/browser/branches/sphinx-conversion-4500> has been idle as well. By contrast, <http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/browser/trunk/twisted/lore> has seen commits - albeit not many - within only a couple of weeks. So, empirically, we're already maintaining lore and lore2sphinx is currently "obsolete"; really the question should be if we want to reverse that path. I also have no objection if someone wants to complete the lore2sphinx work, but if the lore2sphinx buildbot were to die tomorrow and go offline, I wouldn't be particularly anxious to spend a lot of resources to fix it. My position on this was always that if someone wanted to improve the documentation, they were welcome to do so, and if they wanted to use Sphinx to do it, that's great too. I just wasn't willing to tolerate any period where our toolchain was broken and we couldn't generate documentation for a release. And a good thing we didn't, by the way! If we had said "go ahead, pull the trigger, whatever, it's OK to break trunk for a little while!" we wouldn't have had any documentation toolchain for the last 2 years. (I hope that everyone takes this to heart the next time someone wants to break our development process "for a little while, just during the migration" to move to Github, or Jenkins, or Travis-CI or whatever.) > Basically, this ticket is a demonstration of "stumble around in the dark" development in action. We don't need more of that (and I know I'm as guilty as anyone else). If someone wants to turn on a light, great. Otherwise, everyone out of the basement and find something more valuable on which to spend your time. I don't think that this metaphor is particularly... illuminating. While I can sort of guess what you're talking about, it's all pretty implicit and seems to make several assumptions I am not sure that I agree with. What's wrong with stumbling around in the dark? If we had a hierarchically-managed product-driven organization, then having focus and a clearly communicated, consistently enforced shared goal would be important to effectively produce that product, but community projects don't seem to work that way. Consensus is important, but even given a consensus, pool of resources for development that we can allocate via executive decision is fairly small, and is just about sufficient to pay for code reviews of the contributions that we receive and to take care of administrivia, not to do substantial new development. We have to rely on volunteer contributions for that. I'm also sure our tools have a million boring little niggling bugs that need to be discovered and addressed so that the average experience of using and working on Twisted is as pleasant as possible, and we don't want to discourage people from reporting them; that's also a useful volunteer function. Does it harm any members of the Twisted development team to have other members of said team (by the way hi rwall congrats on your commit access) to file these sorts of legitimate, but trivial bugs in uninteresting bits of support code in Twisted, like lore or our release-management tools? To play my own debate opponent here: perhaps it does. The bug tracker is a resource, new bugs consume attention of core developers as we each probably pay attention to see if users are reporting serious problems we should fix. Collectively, that attention is arguably our most precious resource and we should be careful not to waste it. So we don't want the shared resource of the issue tracker to suffer from a tragedy of the commons and get filled up with junk bugs so we can't find the good ones. Closing tickets as invalid to draw a line around what we're trying to get accomplished and to prevent future attention from being wasted. But, attention is worthless without enthusiasm and skill, and having one's tickets closed as invalid does potentially sap one's enthusiasm and thereby one's motivation to acquire further skills. So more determinedly closing things as invalid may be robbing Peter to pay Paul. Also, in this case, I would question the classification of "invalid"; I like to use the "invalid" on bugs which are clearly not actionable. #6313 describes a clear problem (a traceback), and after clarification, a clear course of action (improve the error message). If we don't believe the problem should be fixed, then we should say "wontfix". I think this distinction is important because actually invalid (too vague as to be actionable in any way) bugs are in fact a waste of time, and provoke a good deal of pointless discussion before they die. Wontfix bugs are more of a good-faith mistake on the part of the reporter :-). With tickets such as this one, I think that what we (members of the Inner Circle, I guess, we should have secret handshake or something) ought to be doing is: setting the priority to 'lowest' (while this has very little real practical or process-enforced consequence, it should at least help others not get distracted by it in the future if they're looking for something to do) directing the bug reporter to a more useful ticket by linking to something that we wish someone would work on Once there's a positive pointer towards something more useful, explaining that (maintaining lore/changing the background color of the website/changing the order that we send response headers in HTTP) is peripheral to Twisted's mission of providing awesome internet APIs to programmers everywhere, but that we'd still be happy to receive a patch that addressed the issue with our code, provided that it adheres with all the relevant testing, coding standard, and compatibility requirements and doesn't waste a reviewer's time It's challenging to put useful comments on tickets, especially apparently pointless or ill-defined tickets. It's also just tiring: a lot of the comments one needs to make are incredibly repetitive and redundant. But, since I believe it's clear that few, if any people actually get their priorities of what to do for Twisted by scanning the bugtracker for recently-filed open issues, I posit that there's not a lot of value in ticket triage that doesn't make its primary goal the repeated communication of documented project policy, existing consensus, and constant positive suggestions as to what contributors should take as a next step. In this particular case, that means that "everybody out of the basement" is a vague, confusing, and unhelpful comment that just makes feels mildly insulting to the other people participating in the discussion on the bug. "I would prefer it if you would work on a high-priority ticket like ticket 84 instead of this one, since I believe the Twisted team has a general consensus that lore will be obsoleted and no-one wants to be responsible for it; see ticket 4500 for more details on one effort to do that.". More generally, I think that when one of us is tempted to shut down a bug like this, a better thing to do would be to write a wiki page or a blog post that can be refined by discussion, and can be an artifact that can be the point of reference for some rough consensus (like, e.g. <http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/CompatibilityPolicy>) updated by subsequent discussions, and then link to that discussion. This does all sort of raise the question of "why do we bother to keep a database of tickets around, anyway", and how we should address the warehousing of a potentially increasing number of hypothetically valid bugs that we just don't care enough about to fix. I haven't really addressed those questions very well here, so I do hope to hear more from all of you about that issue. So, rwall, hopefully now you'll go close #84 instead of either updating 6313 or responding to this message :). -glyph

[Twisted-Python] logging in twisted based projects
by Sergey Gerasimov March 14, 2013

March 14, 2013

I'm implementing some project based on twisted. I would like to use some logging mechanism in my modules and see both twisted generated log records and log records from my modules and be able to filter log records by level and source (generated by twisted, or subset of my modules). What should I do in this case? Log with python logging module in my code and send log records generated by twisted to PythonLoggingObserver? Or should I avoid using of python logging module and log only with twisted logging module? I didn't find features like filtering logs in twisted logging. Am I right that twisted based log observer uses blocking i/o? Example: observer = log.FileLogObserver(sys.stdout) # sys.stdio.write used in implementation

[Twisted-Python] Twisted and serial port usage

I'm trying to use a serial port from the twisted library. I can get it to show a connection has been made but I get no 'dataReeived' calls when I send chars over the serial line.

[Twisted-Python] Twisted on Jython
by Tobias Oberstein March 11, 2013

March 11, 2013

Hi, we've been asked if Autobahn runs under Jython. Since there is an upcoming Jython version that supports 2.7 Python API, I thought I'd give it a try. To my astonishment, I was able to get Autobahn working with minor efforts ... Tested: Twisted 12.3 under Jython from sources (together with zope.interface 4.05 and setuptools from sources) after applying the following patches. Stock AutobahnPython 0.6 from source. 1) Missing __builtin__.buffer The following is a workaround due to http://bugs.jython.org/issue1521 Include # workaround for Jython, see: http://bugs.jython.org/issue1521 import __builtin__ if not hasattr(__builtin__, 'buffer'): def _buffer(object, offset = None, size = None): if offset is None: offset = 0 if size is None: size = len(object) return object[offset:offset+size] __builtin__.buffer = _buffer at the beginning of "twisted/python/compat.py". 2) Weird platform ident Jython identifies itself as "Java" .. I was testing on Windows. twisted/python/runtime.py Line 36 #'java': 'java', 'java': 'win32', This is necessary on Windows since otherwise Posix API is assumed. Of course above is just a quick hack. C:\Users\oberstet>jython Jython 2.7b1 (default:ac42d59644e9, Feb 9 2013, 15:24:52) [Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (Oracle Corporation)] on java1.7.0 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys, os >>> sys.platform 'java1.7.0' >>> os.name 'java' IMHO, os.name should return the real underlying OS on Jython, not "java" .. what do you think? === Where should those issue be adressed? Should Twisted include workarounds or should I lobby at Jython to "do the right" thing?

[Twisted-Python] First pre-release of Twisted 13.0.0
by Thomas Hervé March 6, 2013

March 6, 2013

Hello fine people of Twisted, I've the pleasure to announce the first pre-release of Twisted 13.0.0. This is mostly a bugfix release, but I'd like to highlight the new "Introduction to Deferreds" document, which will hopefully help all the Deferred-confused over the world. Among the 70 tickets closed, we can see: * A fix in twisted.web.template where attributes were not quoted properly, risking HTML injection. * Support for unicode domain names in twisted.names SRVConnector and Name classes, after a 12.3 regression. * A workaround for platform limitations when trying to schedule events far in the future. You can find the tarballs of the pre-release here: http://twistedmatrix.com/~therve/13.0.0pre1/ For more information, see the NEWS file. Please download the tarballs and test them! -- Thomas

[Twisted-Python] Epoll error after upgrading from 10.0 to 12.3

I had 60 busy tcp servers that ran on Python 2.6/Twisted 10.0 (or Twisted 9.0) for over two years with not problems. After I upgraded to Twisted 12.3/Python 2.7, I started getting the errors below (no application code changes). It took about two days for the first error to appear on a busy server under heavy load: [twisted.internet.protocol.ServerFactory] Unhandled Error Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/encap/Python-2.7.3/lib/python2.7/site-packages/twisted/python/lo g.py", line 73, in callWithCon text return context.call({ILogContext: newCtx}, func, *args, **kw) File "/usr/local/encap/Python-2.7.3/lib/python2.7/site-packages/twisted/python/co ntext.py", line 118, in callWi thContext return self.currentContext().callWithContext(ctx, func, *args, **kw) File "/usr/local/encap/Python-2.7.3/lib/python2.7/site-packages/twisted/python/co ntext.py", line 81, in callWit hContext return func(*args,**kw) File "/usr/local/encap/Python-2.7.3/lib/python2.7/site-packages/twisted/internet/ posixbase.py", line 614, in _d oReadOrWrite why = selectable.doRead() --- <exception caught here> --- File "/usr/local/encap/Python-2.7.3/lib/python2.7/site-packages/twisted/internet/ tcp.py", line 1069, in doRead transport = self.transport(skt, protocol, addr, self, s, self.reactor) File "/usr/local/encap/Python-2.7.3/lib/python2.7/site-packages/twisted/internet/ tcp.py", line 786, in __init__ self.startReading() File "/usr/local/encap/Python-2.7.3/lib/python2.7/site-packages/twisted/internet/ abstract.py", line 429, in sta rtReading self.reactor.addReader(self) File "/usr/local/encap/Python-2.7.3/lib/python2.7/site-packages/twisted/internet/ epollreactor.py", line 256, in addReader _epoll.EPOLLIN, _epoll.EPOLLOUT) File "/usr/local/encap/Python-2.7.3/lib/python2.7/site-packages/twisted/internet/ epollreactor.py", line 240, in _add self._poller.modify(fd, flags) exceptions.IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory After the error occurs, the server usually locks up and does not accept new connections. One server self-recovered after these errors after 30min outage, and started accepting new connections. Apparently I am not the ony one who has enountered this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12600137/twisted-internet-epollreactor-py -line-238-in-add Is there a patch available, or should I roll back to 10.0.0?

[Twisted-Python] spam comments on valid tickets
by Glyph March 4, 2013

March 4, 2013

A minor administrative issue: We have a nice "delete ticket" interface for trac admins to delete tickets that are filed as spam. but, there are some ticket *comments* that are spam, such as on: <http://tm.tl/2424> <http://tm.tl/4173> <http://tm.tl/5697> Do any of our trac admins know how to delete the comments, and attachments, within these otherwise valid conversations? Thanks, -glyph

[Twisted-Python] Error in documentation
by Sofiane Akermoun March 3, 2013

March 3, 2013

Hello, It is probably cheap but i came across wrong thing in your official doc in the part : http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/core/howto/tutorial/library.html Here we learn how to separate the application code that launches a finger service from the library code which defines the finger service. The problem is in the "Easy Configuration" Part. Between line 7 and line 8 it misses the code f.setServiceParent(s) Without it the the instantiated object from class FingerService(service.Service) will be never collected by the service collection and the startService function in class FingerService(service.Service) will be never called. (this function is import it is where we initiate the looping reading of "/etc/users") There is also an other error at the end of this tutorial it is wrote "% twisted -ny simple-finger.tac" instead of "%twistd -ny simple-finger.tac". regards, -- Sofiane Akermoun akersof(a)gmail.com

[Twisted-Python] How to dispatch message to different servers
by Benjamin BERTRAND March 2, 2013

March 2, 2013

Hi, I have to replace a piece of software that sniffs the traffic on one interface. It gets different messages that are each associated to a specific emitter. On the same machine, one server is started for each emitter (on a different port). And the application is just supposed to use the proper server to send the messages captured (to a client on another machine). Not sure if it's clear, but basically if I have 2 emitters A and B, I'll start 2 servers (a and b). My sniffer will get messages A1, A2, B1, B2, B3... I have to pass messages A1, A2 to server a, that will just send them to the client (if it is connected of course). And B1, B2, B3 to server b. I don't need any buffering. If no client is connected, messages captured are just discarded. To sniff the network, I want to use pylibpcap or pcapy. I found this example to make it work with twisted: http://dound.com/2009/09/integrating-twisted-with-a-pcap-based-python-packe… Starting several servers that use the same protocol is not a problem. But how do I pass the messages captured to the right server? How do I make the link between the function sniffing the network and the servers? Thanks Benjamin

Yes, I would like to be involved in next gsoc. Twisted interests me as whole and how it eases networking whenever I worked with it. Integration with GUI loops was also very great.Having seen Twisted in action , how it works at lower level will be great thing to know more about.

I am an undergraduate student and plan to try for a project with twisted.....I went through the gsoc wiki page for twisted and I have picked up some ideas I need some help as to how I can follow up on them or get new ones? I will be thankful for any help or criticism as i am new to this process.
