We have been using python embedded via the C API and have used Twisted for various things. We have come across some strange behavior and I cannot figure out what is going on.
from twisted.internet import reactor from twisted.web.client import downloadPage
...
def fetchRepo(): global gameType, gameName, setupComplete, cp if (setupComplete): url = urlbase + "/" + gameType + "/" + gameName + "/repo.ini" print "url is : " + url d = downloadPage(url, "C:\svntest\gamerepo.ini") d.addCallback(downloadSuccess) d.addErrback(downloadFailure) #cp.readfp(open("C:\game-repo.ini")) else: print "urls not setup, throw errors etc." ...
This is an example of how we have been using downloadPage from twisted.web.client. I have no problems getting the example to work when I make a simple app or write the code into the intrepeter. But if I use it inside my app I get the user timeout below.
Unhandled error in Deferred: Traceback (most recent call last): Failure: twisted.internet.error.TimeoutError: User timeout caused connection failure.
Am I forgetting something trivial? The reactor is running as we use PB for database pooling. Can I not call downloadPage after a reactor is setup and connected?
