twisted.internet.interfaces.IStreamClientEndpointStringParser : API documentation

An IStreamClientEndpointStringParser is a parser which can convert a set of string *args and **kwargs into an IStreamClientEndpoint provider.

This interface is really only useful in the context of the plugin system for endpoints.clientFromString. See the document entitled "The Twisted Plugin System" for more details on how to write a plugin.

If you place an IStreamClientEndpointStringParser plugin in the twisted.plugins package, that plugin's parseStreamClient method will be used to produce endpoints for any description string that begins with the result of that IStreamClientEndpointStringParser's prefix attribute.

Attribute	prefix	No summary
Method	parseStreamClient	This method is invoked by `endpoints.clientFromString`, if the type of endpoint matches the return value from this `IStreamClientEndpointStringParser`'s `prefix` method.

prefix =

A str, the description prefix to respond to. For example, an IStreamClientEndpointStringParser plugin which had "foo" for its prefix attribute would be called for endpoint descriptions like "foo:bar:baz" or "foo:".

def parseStreamClient(*args, **kwargs): (source)

This method is invoked by endpoints.clientFromString, if the type of endpoint matches the return value from this IStreamClientEndpointStringParser's prefix method.

Parameters	args	The string arguments, minus the endpoint type, in the endpoint description string, parsed according to the rules described in `endpoints.quoteStringArgument`. For example, if the description were `"my-type:foo:bar:baz=qux"`, `args` would be `('foo','bar')`
	kwargs	The string arguments from the endpoint description passed as keyword arguments. For example, if the description were `"my-type:foo:bar:baz=qux"`, `kwargs` would be `dict(baz='qux')`.
Returns	a client endpoint (type: `IStreamClientEndpoint`)
