[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] txsni + alpn + acme (letsencrypt)
by Daniel Holth April 24, 2019

April 24, 2019

Hello. Can you help me to learn to debug tls problems in twisted? I was disappointed that txacme, an automatic way to get certificates for twisted web, stopped working, so I'm trying to add a responder for the new challenge type. It sends a special certificate if the CA negotiates acme using alpn, proving domain control, then you get a certificate. Seems to work with openssl s_client but letsencrypt says "no application protocol". Anyone know where that error comes from? https://github.com/glyph/txsni/pull/26

April 4, 2019

Hello everyone! 19.2.0rc2 is now out. Sorry for the delay! This fixes the Cryptography dependency being set to 1.5, when we actually require at least 2.5. You can get the tarball and the NEWS file at https://twistedmatrix.com/Releases/rc/19.2.0rc2/ , or you can try it out from PyPI: python -m pip install Twisted==19.2.0rc2 Please test it, and let me know how your applications fare, good or bad! If nothing comes up, 19.2 will release in a week. Twisted regards, Amber Brown (hawkowl)

[Twisted-Python] A Proposal for reducing the burden of developing on Twisted by dropping Python 2 support
by Amber Brown April 2, 2019

April 2, 2019

Hi everyone, Since the Python 2 EOL date is rapidly approaching, I thought it was time we consider dropping Python 2 support. I personally find that Python 2 compat adds a huge amount of overhead when working on and maintaining Twisted, and think that with the current maintainer availability, dropping it sooner rather than later would have a beneficial effect on how much work we spend on shims/compat, complexity, and our ability to ship new features, as well as onboarding people who are interested in the project, but have no interest (or experience!) in Python 2.7. It is basically summed up by doing a feature freeze on an agreed-upon version of Twisted, that will be the last version released for 2.7. It would be abnormal in that it would get security fixes (our current policy is to only release them for current versions) and critical bugfixes, but would otherwise be frozen. One of my rationales is that from some analysis of PyPI download statistics, the vast majority of Python 2 users are using old versions of Twisted, while nearly all our Python 3 users are on the latest version. As such, I believe freezing a version that will get security updates but no new features would not be a massive loss to those stuck on Python 2 for whatever reason. Twisted's compatibility policy would still apply, ensuring that Python 2/3 compatible software using Twisted would be able to use the older Twisted version on Python 2, and the newer version on Python 3, as you would usually expect. You can find the proposal here, in this handy-dandy Google Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1S4CGgZC09blLIdk3Zo7wBa75A9_JuuH_3akkyjN… Comments are welcome, as well as which timeline seems reasonable. - Amber

[Twisted-Python] stop/start client connections with loseConnection in ReconnectingClientFactory
by Chris Satterthwaite April 2, 2019

April 2, 2019

Hello community, First of all - thanks for an awesome platform! I'm brand new to this community, but have been using Twisted a couple years. Reason for posting: I've hit a condition with ReconnectingClientFactory that I'm not sure is per design. I have a work around right now, but need your perspective. Seems like there should be a better/right way to do this. Attempted design: I'd like to have long running TCP clients (forever until stopped), with a long running TCP server. When a long running client hits a problem with a dependency (database is down, kafka bus unavailable, external API not responding, etc), I want the client to go offline for a while and then come back online. an automated, self-recovery type action. Since it's not ok to start/stop/restart the Twisted Reactor, I am letting the client finish whatever it can do, disconnect from the service, destruct the dependencies, wait for a period of time, and then attempt a clean re-initialization of those dependencies along with reconnecting to the Twisted Server. Problem case: I'm using the ReconnectingClientFactory in my client. When the client hits a problem, it calls transport.loseConnection(). But whenever the client calls this, after the disconnect - it does not reconnect; stopFactory is called and everything exits. Work around: I noticed some Twisted source code that works off factory.numPorts. If numPorts is 1 and the client loses the connection, it goes to 0 and calls the cleanup. So I conditionally increase this number right before intentionally disconnecting, and then reset that after reconnecting. This solves the problem, but it's a hack. I'll attach the test scripts to this post (if attachments are allowed), but the main code is with these functions in the factory: def clientConnectionLost(self, connector, reason): print(' factory clientConnectionLost: reason: {}'.format(reason)) # if self.disconnectedOnPurpose: # ## Hack to keep reactor alive # print(' factory clientConnectionLost: increasing numPorts') # self.numPorts += 1 # self.numPortsChanged = True # self.disconnectedOnPurpose = False print(' ... simulate client going idle before attempting restart...') time.sleep(5) ReconnectingClientFactory.clientConnectionLost(self, connector, reason) print(' factory clientConnectionLost: end.\n') def clientConnectionMade(self): print(' factory clientConnectionMade: starting numPorts: {}'.format(self.numPorts)) # if self.numPortsChanged : # ## Resetting from hacked value # print(' factory clientConnectionMade: decreasing numPorts') # self.numPorts -= 1 # self.numPortsChanged = False print(' factory clientConnectionMade: finished numPorts: {}'.format(self.numPorts)) def cleanup(self): print('factory cleanup: calling loseConnection') if self.connectedClient is not None: self.connectedClient.transport.loseConnection() self.disconnectedOnPurpose = True With the above lines commented out, once the cleanup call does transport.loseConnection(), the factory stops at the end of clientConnectionLost. Sample scripts/logs: I've tried to create short test scripts and corresponding logs (with the client failing, and then with it restarting when I use the workaround). I've cut out several thousand lines to get down to something simple for the example test scripts, but I know the client is still a little long. Again, I'm not sure if attachments work on the mailing list, but I'll attempt to attach the client/server scripts with the corresponding pass/fail logs. Thanks! -Chris

[Twisted-Python] Drop support for Python 3.4?
by Craig Rodrigues March 29, 2019

March 29, 2019

What do people think of dropping Twisted support for Python 3.4? According to https://devguide.python.org/#status-of-python-branches Python 3.4 EOL'd on March 19, 2019. In the Python 3 world, we have Python 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, and at the end of this year we will have Python 3.8. That's quite a lot of Python versions to support. Python 3.5 introduced async/await keywords, which are very relevant to Twisted: https://docs.python.org/3.5/whatsnew/3.5.html#whatsnew-pep-492 If it makes sense, it would be nice to use these keywords as first-level features in Twisted. Since Amber brought up discussion of dropping Python 2.7 here: https://twistedmatrix.com/pipermail/twisted-python/2019-March/032234.html I thought I would raise dropping Python 3.4 also. -- Craig

Re: [Twisted-Python] A Proposal for reducing the burden of developing on Twisted by dropping Python 2 support (Craig Rodrigues)
by Julian Berman March 27, 2019

March 27, 2019

Hi! Figured it might be helpful to just throw in the other viewpoint (that I'd hold). Which is -- I use a Python 2.7 [PyPy] not end of lifing in 2020 (or in the forseeable future -- and one by the way I'd wholeheartedly have recommended more of us use even before now :). At work, we develop even new applications on it, and likely will not have any plans to move anything really until at least a year or two, until PyPy3 matures and until we have time to do extensive benchmarking showing it isn't slower than PyPy2. So my personal opinion would be obviously "drop Py2 support immediately" -- nope kidding, just making sure you're still reading -- it's "keep it forever and we all suffer, hooray". I don't contribute to Twisted as much as I'd like (or should), and I fully recognize the huge efforts of others who hey shouldn't do free work just on my behalf -- but, in case it's valuable, FWIW dropping Py2 support would make me *less* likely to contribute :), since I couldn't rely on being able to use my own contributions -- perhaps though a decent solution to this side of things is for twisted to continue to pursue being more modular than it is today (i.e. break it up). -J On Wed, Mar 27, 2019 at 4:45 AM <twisted-python-request(a)twistedmatrix.com> wrote: > Send Twisted-Python mailing list submissions to > twisted-python(a)twistedmatrix.com > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > twisted-python-request(a)twistedmatrix.com > > You can reach the person managing the list at > twisted-python-owner(a)twistedmatrix.com > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Twisted-Python digest..." > Today's Topics: > > 1.
