Introduction
This is the eleventh part of the Twisted tutorial Twisted from Scratch, or The Evolution of Finger.
In this part, we make it easier for non-programmers to configure a finger server and show how to package it in the .deb and RPM package formats. Plugins are discussed further in the Twisted Plugin System howto. Writing twistd plugins is covered in Writing a twistd Plugin, and .tac applications are covered in Using the Twisted Application Framework.
Plugins
So far, the user had to be somewhat of a programmer to be able to configure
stuff. Maybe we can eliminate even that? Move old code
to finger/__init__.py
and...

# finger/tap.py from twisted.application import internet, service from twisted.internet import interfaces from twisted.python import usage import finger class Options(usage.Options): optParameters = [ ['file', 'f', '/etc/users'], ['templates', 't', '/usr/share/finger/templates'], ['ircnick', 'n', 'fingerbot'], ['ircserver', None, 'irc.freenode.net'], ['pbport', 'p', 8889], ] optFlags = [['ssl', 's']] def makeService(config): return finger.makeService(config)
And register it all:
1 2 3 4 5
from twisted.application.service import ServiceMaker finger = ServiceMaker( 'finger', 'finger.tap', 'Run a finger service', 'finger')
Note that the second argument to ServiceMaker
,
finger.tap
, is a reference to a module
(finger/tap.py
), not to a filename.
And now, the following works
% sudo twistd -n finger --file=/etc/users --ircnick=fingerbot
For more details about this, see the twistd plugin documentation.
OS Integration
If we already have the finger
package installed in
PYTHONPATH
(e.g. we added it to site-packages
), we
can achieve easy integration:
Debian
% tap2deb --unsigned -m "Foo <foo@example.com>" --type=python finger.tac % sudo dpkg -i .build/*.deb
Red Hat / Mandrake
% tap2rpm --type=python finger.tac % sudo rpm -i *.rpm
These packages will properly install and register init.d
scripts, etc. for the given file.
If it doesn't work on your favorite OS: patches accepted!
