Hi, I expected reactor.connectTCP to return a deferred. That would have been nice, since callbacks would have handled the outcome. So how to I handle failure with it? I tried: from twisted.internet.error import ConnectionRefusedError print "Connecting..." try: reactor.connectTCP(self.server, self.port, self.f) except ConnectionRefusedError(reason): self.Connect_Failure() return self.Connect_Success() No good. What am I missing? Thank you! Simon -- Linux user #458601 - http://counter.li.org.
