I'm trying to figure out server to server communication. Here is example code that works but it leaks descriptors until you run out. In this example, the client talks to server1 on port 7000, server1 talks to server2 on 7001, then the client gets the result from server2 on 7001. Server1 uses pb.PBClientFactory() to send data to server2, which is the part that leaks descriptors. What is the appropriate way for a server to talk to a server? Thanks for any info, john ------------ from twisted.spread import pb from twisted.internet import reactor, defer from twisted.python import util import time,random def client(port,fun,react=None,data=None): print 'in client',port,fun,data a=[] factory = pb.PBClientFactory() reactor.connectTCP('localhost', port, factory) d = factory.getRootObject() d.addCallback(lambda object: object.callRemote(fun,data)) d.addCallback(lambda result: a.append(result)) d.addErrback(lambda reason: 'error: '+str(reason.value)) #d.addCallback(util.println) if react: d.addCallback(lambda _: reactor.stop()) reactor.run() if a: print 'returning',a[0] return a[0] #return 1 class adder(pb.Root): Result=None def remote_add(self,i): print 'in add' i+=1 print 'calling add2' client(7001,'add2',react=None,data=i) def remote_add2(self,i): print 'in add2',self.Result i+=1 self.Result=i def remote_result(self,stuff): return self.Result port=raw_input('port?').strip() if port: port=int(port) print 'starting on',port reactor.listenTCP(port, pb.PBServerFactory(adder())) reactor.run() else: client(7000,'add',react=None,data=10) print 'got',client(7001,'result',react=1) -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm
