twisted.internet.epollreactor.EPollReactor : API documentation

Implements interfaces: twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorFDSet

A reactor that uses epoll(7).

Method	__init__	Initialize epoll object, file descriptor tracking dictionaries, and the base class.
Method	addReader	Add a FileDescriptor for notification of data available to read.
Method	addWriter	Add a 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	doPoll	Poll the poller for new events.
Instance Variable	_poller	A `epoll` which will be used to check for I/O readiness.
Instance Variable	_selectables	A dictionary mapping integer file descriptors to instances of `FileDescriptor` which have been registered with the reactor. All `FileDescriptors` which are currently receiving read or write readiness notifications will be present as values in this dictionary.
Instance Variable	_reads	A set containing integer file descriptors. Values in this set will be registered with `_poller` for read readiness notifications which will be dispatched to the corresponding `FileDescriptor` instances in `_selectables`.
Instance Variable	_writes	A set containing integer file descriptors. Values in this set will be registered with `_poller` for write readiness notifications which will be dispatched to the corresponding `FileDescriptor` instances in `_selectables`.
Instance Variable	_continuousPolling	A `_ContinuousPolling` instance, used to handle file descriptors (e.g. filesytem files) that are not supported by `epoll(7)`.
Method	_add	Private method for adding a descriptor from the event loop.
Method	_remove	Private method for removing a descriptor from the event loop.

_poller =

A epoll which will be used to check for I/O readiness.

_selectables =

A dictionary mapping integer file descriptors to instances of FileDescriptor which have been registered with the reactor. All FileDescriptors which are currently receiving read or write readiness notifications will be present as values in this dictionary.

_reads =

A set containing integer file descriptors. Values in this set will be registered with _poller for read readiness notifications which will be dispatched to the corresponding FileDescriptor instances in _selectables.

_writes =

A set containing integer file descriptors. Values in this set will be registered with _poller for write readiness notifications which will be dispatched to the corresponding FileDescriptor instances in _selectables.

_continuousPolling =

A _ContinuousPolling instance, used to handle file descriptors (e.g. filesytem files) that are not supported by epoll(7).

def __init__(self): (source)

overrides twisted.internet.base.ReactorBase.__init__

Initialize epoll object, file descriptor tracking dictionaries, and the base class.

def _add(self, xer, primary, other, selectables, event, antievent): (source)

Private method for adding a descriptor from the event loop.

It takes care of adding it if new or modifying it if already added for another state (read -> read/write for example).

def addReader(self, reader): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorFDSet

overrides twisted.internet.base.ReactorBase.addReader

Add a FileDescriptor for notification of data available to read.

def addWriter(self, writer): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorFDSet

overrides twisted.internet.base.ReactorBase.addWriter

Add a FileDescriptor for notification of data available to write.

def _remove(self, xer, primary, other, selectables, event, antievent): (source)

Private method for removing a descriptor from the event loop.

It does the inverse job of _add, and also add a check in case of the fd has gone away.

def removeReader(self, reader): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorFDSet

overrides twisted.internet.base.ReactorBase.removeReader

Remove a Selectable for notification of data available to read.

def removeWriter(self, writer): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorFDSet

overrides twisted.internet.base.ReactorBase.removeWriter

Remove a Selectable for notification of data available to write.

def removeAll(self): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorFDSet

overrides twisted.internet.base.ReactorBase.removeAll

Remove all selectables, and return a list of them.

def getReaders(self): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorFDSet

overrides twisted.internet.base.ReactorBase.getReaders

Return the list of file descriptors currently monitored for input events by the reactor.

Returns the list of file descriptors monitored for input events. (type: list of IReadDescriptor)

def getWriters(self): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorFDSet

overrides twisted.internet.base.ReactorBase.getWriters

Return the list file descriptors currently monitored for output events by the reactor.

Returns the list of file descriptors monitored for output events. (type: list of IWriteDescriptor)

def doPoll(self, timeout): (source)

Poll the poller for new events.
