Is win32eventreactor not working and not tested?
It's tested, but it's not working. See http://twistedmatrix.com/buildbot/ - you'll notice the "win32-win32er" column is always red. It's also limited because it still allows only 63 objects.
I have just runned the test suite (with Twisted 2.4). I got FAILED (skips=76, expectedFailures=7, failures=6, errors=13, successes=868) Moreover about 2-3 time I got a peak to CPU and memory usage (up to 300 MB).
You did not mention it in the "removing unsupported reactors in twisted" thread.
It has maintainers, it has a buildbot, and it's been gradually decreasing its number of failing tests over time. It didn't seem like a candidate for removal.
I have write it, now stdio works ;-).
Unfortunately it is not very efficient since: - it uses _pollingfile (not a real porblem) - it reads raw keyboard input and have to do all low level stuff like '\b' handling, '\r' conversion, and so
It's very hard to do these things efficiently, so I'm not too worried about that. We also don't have a lot of programmers interested in Windows support. My interest in Windows support ends right about at the point where the servers I develop can be successfully tested and developed on win32 :). Providing functionality in an inefficient implementation at least provides some useful functionality in the meanwhile, and something to optimize later if it becomes important.
The implementation surely can be optimized.
Here is the main code.
[...] One more thing. As I have said I would like to provide a portable interface to terminal handling, so that scripts like conch can works on both POSIX and Window. There are several options: 1) Write modules like twised.python.fncl, twisted.python.termios and twisted.python.pty, that implements the same POSIX interface on Windows too. I suspect that this can be done but it is hard (and I'm lazy). Moreover there is the problem with SIGWINCH handling (Windows can - not yet tested - report events about console window resizing) 2) Write an high level module like twisted.python.tty that provides functions like enableRawMode(fd, trueOrFalse), enableEcho(fd, trueOrFalse), addWindowChangeCallback(cb), and so 3) Write an high level module like twisted.internet.conio that provides StdIOChannel (just to pick a name) objects. These objects will have the interface as in 2). Regards Manlio Perillo
