twisted.internet.win32eventreactor.Win32Reactor : API documentation

Implements interfaces: twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorFDSet, twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorWin32Events

Reactor that uses Win32 event APIs.

Method	__init__	Undocumented
Method	addEvent	Add a new win32 event to the event loop.
Method	removeEvent	Remove an event.
Method	addReader	Add a socket FileDescriptor for notification of data available to read.
Method	addWriter	Add a socket FileDescriptor for notification of data available to write.
Method	removeReader	Remove a Selectable for notification of data available to read.
Method	removeWriter	Remove a Selectable for notification of data available to write.
Method	removeAll	Remove all selectables, and return a list of them.
Method	getReaders	Return the list of file descriptors currently monitored for input events by the reactor.
Method	getWriters	Return the list file descriptors currently monitored for output events by the reactor.
Method	doWaitForMultipleEvents	Undocumented
Instance Variable	_reads	A dictionary mapping `FileDescriptor` instances to a win32 event object used to check for read events for that descriptor.
Instance Variable	_writes	A dictionary mapping `FileDescriptor` instances to a arbitrary value. Keys in this dictionary will be given a chance to write out their data.
Instance Variable	_events	A dictionary mapping win32 event object to tuples of `FileDescriptor` instances and event masks.
Instance Variable	_closedAndReading	Along with `_closedAndNotReading`, keeps track of descriptors which have had close notification delivered from the OS but which we have not finished reading data from. MsgWaitForMultipleObjects will only deliver close notification to us once, so we remember it in these two dictionaries until we're ready to act on it. The OS has delivered close notification for each descriptor in this dictionary, and the descriptors are marked as allowed to handle read events in the reactor, so they can be processed. When a descriptor is marked as not allowed to handle read events in the reactor (ie, it is passed to `IReactorFDSet.removeReader`), it is moved out of this dictionary and into `_closedAndNotReading`. The descriptors are keys in this dictionary. The values are arbitrary. (type: `dict`)
Instance Variable	_closedAndNotReading	These descriptors have had close notification delivered from the OS, but are not marked as allowed to handle read events in the reactor. They are saved here to record their closed state, but not processed at all. When one of these descriptors is passed to `IReactorFDSet.addReader`, it is moved out of this dictionary and into `_closedAndReading`. The descriptors are keys in this dictionary. The values are arbitrary. This is a weak key dictionary so that if an application tells the reactor to stop reading from a descriptor and then forgets about that descriptor itself, the reactor will also forget about it. (type: `WeakKeyDictionary`)
Method	_makeSocketEvent	Make a win32 event object for a socket.
Method	_runWrite	Undocumented
Method	_runAction	Undocumented

Instance Variable	_stopped	A flag which is true between paired calls to `reactor.run` and `reactor.stop`. This should be replaced with an explicit state machine. (type: `bool`)
Instance Variable	_justStopped	A flag which is true between the time `reactor.stop` is called and the time the shutdown system event is fired. This is used to determine whether that event should be fired after each iteration through the mainloop. This should be replaced with an explicit state machine. (type: `bool`)
