[Twisted-Python] Form based auth - problem with credential checker
by Jonah Crawford 13 Jul '18

13 Jul '18

I've posted code here: credential checker --> https://gist.github.com/minskmaz/ab218d7b137b24ede8ffc7e3ea6e2392#file-cred… realm.py --> https://gist.github.com/minskmaz/ab218d7b137b24ede8ffc7e3ea6e2392#file-real… session wrapper --> https://gist.github.com/minskmaz/ab218d7b137b24ede8ffc7e3ea6e2392#file-weba… As I point out on line 14 of realm.py the checker is matching a password against the db but its requestAvatarId (line 10 of *credentialChecker.py * <https://gist.github.com/minskmaz/ab218d7b137b24ede8ffc7e3ea6e2392#file-cred…>) is returning None to requestAvatar Any guidance warmly welcomed.

[Twisted-Python] Twisted 18.7 Release Announcement
by Amber Brown 13 Jul '18

13 Jul '18

On behalf of Twisted Matrix Laboratories, I am honoured to announce the release of Twisted 18.7! The highlights of this release are: - better support for async/await coroutines in regards to exception and traceback handling; - better support for reporting tracebacks in inlineCallbacks, now showing what you would expect in synchronous-like code - the epoll reactor now no longer hard-locks when running out of file descriptors - directory rendering in t.web works on Python 2 again - manhole's colouriser is better at handling Unicode - setting the groundwork for Python 3.7 support. Note that Python 3.7 is currently not a supported platform on any operating system, and may completely fail to install, especially on Windows. For more information, check the NEWS file (link provided below). You can find the downloads at <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Twisted> (or alternatively <http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/Downloads>). The NEWS file is also available at <https://github.com/twisted/twisted/blob/twisted-18.7.0/NEWS>. Many thanks to everyone who had a part in this release - the supporters of the Twisted Software Foundation, the developers who contributed code as well as documentation, and all the people building great things with Twisted! Twisted Regards, Amber Brown (HawkOwl)

[Twisted-Python] Twistedmatrix.com: scheduled maintenance July 18th
by Mark Williams 13 Jul '18

13 Jul '18

Hello, The server that hosts twistedmatrix.com will be down for maintenance on Wednesday July 18th. Our hosting company, Tummy.com, will be increasing the size of the /boot partition to accommodate the larger kernels typical of modern Linux distributions. This requires a full reload of all partitions' data. The downtime is expected to be 24 hours, or through Thursday, July 19th. During the downtime no twistedmatrix.com sites will be available. Because Trac will be down, no pull requests should be merged between July 18th and 19th. Twisted's documentation will be inaccessible during that time as well. Note that this is the minimum maintenance necessary to keep twistedmatrix.com running. We need money to realize improvements to our infrastructure, like newer hardware for the existing server and additional hosts that could continue to serve twistedmatrix.com during a maintenance window. Tax-deductible donations can be made to Twisted via the Software Freedom Conservancy. More information is available here: https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/TwistedSoftwareFoundation#HowtoDonate -- Mark Williams mrw(a)enotuniq.org

[Twisted-Python] Installing Twisted on a clean Windows system
by Jeff Grimmett 01 Jul '18

01 Jul '18

I am attempting to install Twisted 18.4.0 on a clean system, fresh install of Python 3.7. When I attempt to install from the source dist (python setup.py install) it complains I don't have the MS Visual C++ Build tools ("error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools"") and directs me to http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools - which is a 404. "pip install twisted[windows_platform]" fails for the same reason. Not sure where to go for a good compiler here ... any ideas? Is it too soon to adopt Python 3.7? Should I go back to 3.6? (this is going to be a system install so I'd prefer to avoid all virtualenv entanglements) TIA, Jeff
