twisted.internet.tcp.Client(_BaseTCPClient, BaseClient) class documentation

Inherited from _BaseTCPClient:

Instance Variable	connector	The Connector which is driving this _BaseTCPClient's connection attempt.
Instance Variable	addr	The address that this socket will be connecting to. (type: If IPv4, a 2-tuple of (str host, int port). If IPv6, a 4-tuple of (str host, int port, int ignored, int scope).)
Instance Variable	createInternetSocket	Subclasses must implement this as a method to create a python socket object of the appropriate address family and socket type. (type: 0-argument callable returning socket._socketobject.)
Method	__init__	Undocumented
Method	getHost	Returns an IPv4Address or IPv6Address.
Method	getPeer	Returns an IPv4Address or IPv6Address.
Method	__repr__	Undocumented
Instance Variable	_addressType	The Twisted _IPAddress implementation for this client (type: IPv4Address or IPv6Address)

Inherited from BaseClient:

Instance Variable	realAddress	The address object that will be used for socket.connect; this address is an address tuple (the number of elements dependent upon the address family) which does not contain any names which need to be resolved. (type: tuple)
Method	createInternetSocket	(internal) Create a non-blocking socket using self.addressFamily, self.socketType.
Method	doConnect	Initiate the outgoing connection attempt.
Instance Variable	_base	Connection, which is the base class of this class which has all of the useful file descriptor methods. This is used by _TLSServerMixin to call the right methods to directly manipulate the transport, as is necessary for writing TLS-encrypted bytes (whereas those methods on Server will go through another layer of TLS if it has been enabled).
Method	_stopReadingAndWriting	Implement the POSIX-ish (i.e. twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorFDSet) method of detaching this socket from the reactor for _BaseBaseClient.
Method	_collectSocketDetails	Clean up references to the socket and its file descriptor.
Method	_connectDone	This is a hook for when a connection attempt has succeeded.

Inherited from _BaseBaseClient (via BaseClient):

Instance Variable	addressFamily	The address family constant (socket.AF_INET, socket.AF_INET6, socket.AF_UNIX) of the underlying socket of this client connection. (type: int)
Instance Variable	socketType	The socket type constant (socket.SOCK_STREAM or socket.SOCK_DGRAM) of the underlying socket. (type: int)
Instance Variable	reactor	The class pointed to by _commonConnection should set this attribute in its constructor. (type: twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorTime, twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorCore, twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorFDSet)
Method	resolveAddress	No summary
Method	failIfNotConnected	Generic method called when the attempts to connect failed. It basically cleans everything it can: call connectionFailed, stop read and write, delete socket related members.
Method	stopConnecting	If a connection attempt is still outstanding (i.e. no connection is yet established), immediately stop attempting to connect.
Method	connectionLost	No summary
Instance Variable	_requiresResolution	A flag indicating whether the address of this client will require name resolution. True if the hostname of said address indicates a name that must be resolved by hostname lookup, False if it indicates an IP address literal. (type: bool)
Class Variable	_commonConnection	Subclasses must provide this attribute, which indicates the Connection-alike class to invoke __init__ and connectionLost on. (type: type)
Instance Variable	_closeSocket	Subclasses must implement in order to close the socket in response to a terminated connection attempt. (type: 1-argument callable; see _SocketCloser._closeSocket)
Method	_finishInit	Called by subclasses to continue to the stage of initialization where the socket connect attempt is made.
Method	_setRealAddress	Set the resolved address of this _BaseBaseClient and initiate the connection attempt.

Inherited from Connection (via BaseClient):

Instance Variable	logstr	prefix used when logging events related to this connection. (type: str)
Method	__init__
Method	getHandle	Return the socket for this connection.
Method	doRead	Calls self.protocol.dataReceived with all available data.
Method	writeSomeData	Write as much as possible of the given data to this TCP connection.
Method	readConnectionLost	Indicates read connection was lost.
Method	connectionLost	See abstract.FileDescriptor.connectionLost().
Method	logPrefix	Return the prefix to log with when I own the logging thread.
Method	getTcpNoDelay	Return if TCP_NODELAY is enabled.
Method	setTcpNoDelay	Enable/disable TCP_NODELAY.
Method	getTcpKeepAlive	Return if SO_KEEPALIVE is enabled.
Method	setTcpKeepAlive	Enable/disable SO_KEEPALIVE.
Method	_dataReceived	Undocumented
Method	_closeWriteConnection	Undocumented

Inherited from FileDescriptor (via BaseClient, Connection):

Method	doWrite	Called when data can be written.
Method	writeConnectionLost	Indicates write connection was lost.
Method	write	Reliably write some data.
Method	writeSequence	Reliably write a sequence of data.
Method	loseConnection	Close the connection at the next available opportunity.
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	_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 BaseClient, Connection, 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 BaseClient, Connection, 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 (via BaseClient, Connection):

Instance Variable	_shouldShutdown	Set to True if shutdown should be called before calling close on the underlying socket. (type: bool)
Method	_closeSocket	Undocumented

Inherited from _AbortingMixin (via BaseClient, Connection):

Method	abortConnection	Aborts the connection immediately, dropping any buffered data.
Instance Variable	_aborting	Set to True when abortConnection is called. (type: bool)
