Known subclasses: twisted.internet.ssl.Port, twisted.internet.unix.Port

Implements interfaces: twisted.internet.interfaces.IListeningPort

A TCP server port, listening for connections.

When a connection is accepted, this will call a factory's buildProtocol with the incoming address as an argument, according to the specification described in twisted.internet.interfaces.IProtocolFactory.

If you wish to change the sort of transport that will be used, the transport attribute will be called with the signature expected for Server.__init__, so it can be replaced.

Instance Variable deferred a deferred created when stopListening is called, and that will fire when connection is lost. This is not to be used it directly: prefer the deferred returned by stopListening instead. (type: defer.Deferred)
Instance Variable disconnecting flag indicating that the stopListening method has been called and that no connections should be accepted anymore. (type: bool)
Instance Variable connected flag set once the listen has successfully been called on the socket. (type: bool)
Method __init__ Initialize with a numeric port to listen on.
Method __repr__ Undocumented
Method createInternetSocket Undocumented
Method startListening Create and bind my socket, and begin listening on it.
Method doRead Called when my socket is ready for reading.
Method loseConnection Stop accepting connections on this port.
Method connectionLost Cleans up the socket.
Method logPrefix Returns the name of my class, to prefix log entries with.
Method getHost Return an IPv4Address or IPv6Address indicating the listening address of this port.
Instance Variable _type A string describing the connections which will be created by this port. Normally this is "TCP", since this is a TCP port, but when the TLS implementation re-uses this class it overrides the value with "TLS". Only used for logging.
Instance Variable _preexistingSocket If not None, a socket.socket instance which was created and initialized outside of the reactor and will be used to listen for connections (instead of a new socket being created by this Port).
Class Method _fromListeningDescriptor Create a new Port based on an existing listening SOCK_STREAM socket.
Method _buildAddr Undocumented
Method _logConnectionLostMsg Log message for closing port

Inherited from BasePort:

Method doWrite Raises a RuntimeError

Inherited from FileDescriptor (via BasePort):

Method writeSomeData Write as much as possible of the given data, immediately.
Method writeConnectionLost Indicates write connection was lost.
Method readConnectionLost Indicates read connection was lost.
Method write Reliably write some data.
Method writeSequence Reliably write a sequence of data.
Method loseWriteConnection Undocumented
Method stopReading Stop waiting for read availability.
Method stopWriting Stop waiting for write availability.
Method startReading Start waiting for read availability.
Method startWriting Start waiting for write availability.
Method stopConsuming Stop consuming data.
Method resumeProducing Resume producing data.
Method pauseProducing Pause producing data.
Method stopProducing Stop producing data.
Method fileno File Descriptor number for select().
Method _postLoseConnection Called after a loseConnection(), when all data has been written.
Method _closeWriteConnection Undocumented
Method _isSendBufferFull Determine whether the user-space send buffer for this transport is full or not.
Method _maybePauseProducer Possibly pause a producer, if there is one and the send buffer is full.

Inherited from _ConsumerMixin (via BasePort, FileDescriptor):

Instance Variable producer None if no producer is registered, otherwise the registered producer.
Instance Variable producerPaused A flag indicating whether the producer is currently paused. (type: bool)
Instance Variable streamingProducer 0 A flag indicating whether the producer was registered as a streaming (ie push) producer or not (ie a pull producer). This will determine whether the consumer may ever need to pause and resume it, or if it can merely call resumeProducing on it when buffer space is available.
Instance Variable streamingProducer bool or int
Method registerProducer Register to receive data from a producer.
Method unregisterProducer Stop consuming data from a producer, without disconnecting.

Inherited from _LogOwner (via BasePort, FileDescriptor):

Method _getLogPrefix Determine the log prefix to use for messages related to applicationObject, which may or may not be an interfaces.ILoggingContext provider.

Inherited from _SocketCloser:

Instance Variable _shouldShutdown Set to True if shutdown should be called before calling close on the underlying socket. (type: bool)
Method _closeSocket Undocumented
deferred =
a deferred created when stopListening is called, and that will fire when connection is lost. This is not to be used it directly: prefer the deferred returned by stopListening instead. (type: defer.Deferred)
disconnecting =
flag indicating that the stopListening method has been called and that no connections should be accepted anymore. (type: bool)
connected =
flag set once the listen has successfully been called on the socket. (type: bool)
_type =
A string describing the connections which will be created by this port. Normally this is "TCP", since this is a TCP port, but when the TLS implementation re-uses this class it overrides the value with "TLS". Only used for logging.
_preexistingSocket =
If not None, a socket.socket instance which was created and initialized outside of the reactor and will be used to listen for connections (instead of a new socket being created by this Port).
def __init__(self, port, factory, backlog=50, interface='', reactor=None): (source)

Initialize with a numeric port to listen on.

@classmethod
def _fromListeningDescriptor(cls, reactor, fd, addressFamily, factory): (source)

Create a new Port based on an existing listening SOCK_STREAM socket.

Arguments are the same as to Port.__init__, except where noted.

ParametersfdAn integer file descriptor associated with a listening socket. The socket must be in non-blocking mode. Any additional attributes desired, such as FD_CLOEXEC, must also be set already.
addressFamilyThe address family (sometimes called domain) of the existing socket. For example, socket.AF_INET.
ReturnsA new instance of cls wrapping the socket given by fd.
def __repr__(self): (source)
Undocumented
def createInternetSocket(self): (source)
def startListening(self): (source)

Create and bind my socket, and begin listening on it.

This is called on unserialization, and must be called after creating a server to begin listening on the specified port.

def _buildAddr(self, address): (source)
Undocumented
def doRead(self): (source)

Called when my socket is ready for reading.

This accepts a connection and calls self.protocol() to handle the wire-level protocol.

def loseConnection(self, connDone=failure.Failure(main.CONNECTION_DONE)): (source)

Stop accepting connections on this port.

This will shut down the socket and call self.connectionLost(). It returns a deferred which will fire successfully when the port is actually closed, or with a failure if an error occurs shutting down.

def _logConnectionLostMsg(self): (source)

Log message for closing port

def logPrefix(self): (source)

Returns the name of my class, to prefix log entries with.

def getHost(self): (source)

Return an IPv4Address or IPv6Address indicating the listening address of this port.
