Module twisted.application.strports

Port description language

This module implements a description mini-language for ports, and provides functions to parse it and to use it to directly construct appropriate network server services or to directly listen on them.

Here are some examples:
>>> s=service("80", server.Site())
>>> s=service("tcp:80", server.Site())
>>> s=service("tcp:80:interface=127.0.0.1", server.Site())
>>> s=service("ssl:443", server.Site())
>>> s=service("ssl:443:privateKey=mykey.pem", server.Site())
>>> s=service("ssl:443:privateKey=mykey.pem:certKey=cert.pem", server.Site())
>>> s=service("unix:/var/run/finger", FingerFactory())
>>> s=service("unix:/var/run/finger:mode=660", FingerFactory())
>>> p=listen("80", server.Site())
>>> p=listen("tcp:80", server.Site())
>>> p=listen("tcp:80:interface=127.0.0.1", server.Site())
>>> p=listen("ssl:443", server.Site())
>>> p=listen("ssl:443:privateKey=mykey.pem", server.Site())
>>> p=listen("ssl:443:privateKey=mykey.pem:certKey=cert.pem", server.Site())
>>> p=listen("unix:/var/run/finger", FingerFactory())
>>> p=listen("unix:/var/run/finger:mode=660", FingerFactory())

Function Details

listen(description, factory, default=None)

Listen on a port corresponding to a description
Parameters:
description
           (type=str)
factory
           (type=

twisted.internet.interfaces.IProtocolFactory)

default
           (type=str or None)
Returns:

the port corresponding to a description of a reliable virtual circuit server.

See the documentation of the parse function for description of the semantics of the arguments.
           (type=twisted.internet.interfaces.IListeningPort)

parse(description, factory, default=None)

Parse a description of a reliable virtual circuit server
Parameters:
description
           (type=str)
factory
           (type=

twisted.internet.interfaces.IProtocolFactory)

default
           (type=str or None)
Returns:
a tuple of string, tuple and dictionary. The string is the name of the method (sans 'listen') to call, and the tuple and dictionary are the arguments and keyword arguments to the method.
           (type=tuple)

service(description, factory, default=None)

Return the service corresponding to a description
Parameters:
description
           (type=str)
factory
           (type=

twisted.internet.interfaces.IProtocolFactory)

default
           (type=str or None)
Returns:

the service corresponding to a description of a reliable virtual circuit server.

See the documentation of the parse function for description of the semantics of the arguments.
           (type=twisted.application.service.IService)
