Hello everyone,
I would like to run some cleanup code when my Twisted app receives a signal (SIGINT/SIGBREAK/SIGTERM).
I saw that "_SignalReactorMixin" sets the handlers and that "ReactorBase" defines the default handlers : ... My question is how can I redefine them, other than monkey patching or inheriting the reactor and over-riding them (which I'd rather not do since some of my code uses the windows reactor when on windows since I was having problems with windows event)? Is there such a mechanism, something like setDefaultSig("SIGINT, mySigIntHandler)?
One easy way to do it is to reactor.run(installSignalHandlers=False) and then manually install your own signal handlers in the usual way (using the python signal library).
If you do this, you'll break spawnProcess. Fortunately, if you just install a SIGINT handler, Twisted won't stomp on it: exarkun@charm:~$ python Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Jul 31 2008, 17:28:52) [GCC 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> def f(*a): ... print 'sigint' ... >>> import signal >>> signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, f) <built-in function default_int_handler> >>> from twisted.internet import reactor >>> reactor.run() sigint sigint sigint Quit exarkun@charm:~$ Jean-Paul
