twisted.internet.protocol : API documentation

Standard implementations of Twisted protocol-related interfaces.

Start here if you are looking to write a new protocol implementation for Twisted. The Protocol class contains some introductory material.

Class	Factory	This is a factory which produces protocols.
Class	ClientFactory	A Protocol factory for clients.
Class	ClientCreator	Client connections that do not require a factory.
Class	ReconnectingClientFactory	Factory which auto-reconnects clients with an exponential back-off.
Class	ServerFactory	Subclass this to indicate that your protocol.Factory is only usable for servers.
Class	BaseProtocol	This is the abstract superclass of all protocols.
Class	Protocol	This is the base class for streaming connection-oriented protocols.
Class	ProtocolToConsumerAdapter	Undocumented
Class	ConsumerToProtocolAdapter	Undocumented
Class	ProcessProtocol	Base process protocol implementation which does simple dispatching for stdin, stdout, and stderr file descriptors.
Class	AbstractDatagramProtocol	Abstract protocol for datagram-oriented transports, e.g. IP, ICMP, ARP, UDP.
Class	DatagramProtocol	Protocol for datagram-oriented transport, e.g. UDP.
Class	ConnectedDatagramProtocol	Protocol for connected datagram-oriented transport.
Class	FileWrapper	A wrapper around a file-like object to make it behave as a Transport.
Class	_InstanceFactory	Factory used by ClientCreator.
