Thanks. Now using callInThread to launch a long-running function on the server and callFromThread from said function to write results to the client. I'm still puzzled how exactly 'reactor.callFromThread(self.transport.writeSomeData(...))' gets routed to the right client when called from my function. How does twisted know which client that message is going to? After all, it calls it from the main reactor loop. i.e. what state does it use to get this right? -----Original Message----- From: twisted-python-bounces@twistedmatrix.com [mailto:twisted-python-bounces@twistedmatrix.com] On Behalf Of Christopher Armstrong Sent: Sunday, October 28, 2007 12:11 PM To: Twisted general discussion Subject: Re: [Twisted-Python] IPushProducer - medium volume streaming On 10/28/07, Rutt, Benjamin <Benjamin.Rutt@gs.com> wrote:
It's a long-running streaming flow so there will be millions of results to send to the client. You're saying I call deferToThread millions of times?
No, I was just correcting your description of the way that deferToThread is used. If you don't want to use deferToThread, then you should probably use a combination of reactor.callInThread and reactor.callFromThread. -- Christopher Armstrong International Man of Twistery http://radix.twistedmatrix.com/ http://twistedmatrix.com/ http://canonical.com/ _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
