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. |
| Variable | connectionDone | Undocumented |
| 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. |
