twisted.internet.kqreactor.KQueueReactor : API documentation

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

A reactor that uses kqueue(2)/kevent(2) and relies on Python 2.6 or higher which has built in support for kqueue in the select module.

Method	__init__	Initialize kqueue object, file descriptor tracking dictionaries, and the base class.
Method	beforeDaemonize	Implement `IReactorDaemonize.beforeDaemonize`.
Method	afterDaemonize	Implement `IReactorDaemonize.afterDaemonize`.
Method	addReader	Implement `IReactorFDSet.addReader`.
Method	addWriter	Implement `IReactorFDSet.addWriter`.
Method	removeReader	Implement `IReactorFDSet.removeReader`.
Method	removeWriter	Implement `IReactorFDSet.removeWriter`.
Method	removeAll	Implement `IReactorFDSet.removeAll`.
Method	getReaders	Implement `IReactorFDSet.getReaders`.
Method	getWriters	Implement `IReactorFDSet.getWriters`.
Method	doKEvent	Poll the kqueue for new events.
Instance Variable	_kq	A `kqueue` which will be used to check for I/O readiness.
Instance Variable	_impl	The implementation of `_IKQueue` to use.
Instance Variable	_selectables	A dictionary mapping integer file descriptors to instances of `FileDescriptor` which have been registered with the reactor. All `FileDescriptor`s 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 `_kq` 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 `_kq` for write readiness notifications which will be dispatched to the corresponding `FileDescriptor` instances in `_selectables`.
Method	_updateRegistration	Private method for changing kqueue registration on a given FD filtering for events given filter/op. This will never block and returns nothing.
Method	_doWriteOrRead	Private method called when a FD is ready for reading, writing or was lost. Do the work and raise errors where necessary.

Method	listenSSL	Connects a given protocol factory to the given numeric TCP/IP port. The connection is a SSL one, using contexts created by the context factory.
Instance Variable	_childWaker	`None` or a reference to the `_SIGCHLDWaker` which is used to properly notice child process termination.
Method	_handleSignals	Extend the basic signal handling logic to also support handling SIGCHLD to know when to try to reap child processes.
Method	_uninstallHandler	If a child waker was created and installed, uninstall it now.
Method	_removeAll	Remove all readers and writers, and list of removed `IReadDescriptor`s and `IWriteDescriptor`s.

Inherited from _SignalReactorMixin (via PosixReactorBase):

Method	startRunning	Extend the base implementation in order to remember whether signal handlers should be installed later.
Method	run	Undocumented
Method	mainLoop	Undocumented
Instance Variable	_installSignalHandlers	A flag which indicates whether any signal handlers will be installed during startup. This includes handlers for SIGCHLD to monitor child processes, and SIGINT, SIGTERM, and SIGBREAK to stop the reactor. (type: `bool`)
Method	_reallyStartRunning	Extend the base implementation by also installing signal handlers, if `self._installSignalHandlers` is true.

Inherited from _DisconnectSelectableMixin (via PosixReactorBase):

Method

_disconnectSelectable

Utility function for disconnecting a selectable.

Method	installNameResolver	See `IReactorPluggableNameResolver`.
Method	nameResolver	Implementation of read-only `IReactorPluggableNameResolver.nameResolver`.
Method	wakeUp	Wake up the event loop.
Method	doIteration	Do one iteration over the readers and writers which have been added.

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`)
Instance Variable	_started	A flag which is true from the time `reactor.run` is called until the time `reactor.run` returns. This is used to prevent calls to `reactor.run` on a running reactor. This should be replaced with an explicit state machine. (type: `bool`)
Instance Variable	_registerAsIOThread	A flag controlling whether the reactor will register the thread it is running in as the I/O thread when it starts. If `True`, registration will be done, otherwise it will not be.
Instance Variable	_exitSignal	See `_ISupportsExitSignalCapturing._exitSignal`
Method	_reallyStartRunning	Method called to transition to the running state. This should happen in the during startup event trigger phase.
