twisted.flow.web.Resource : API documentation

A resource which uses flow in its page generation.

Use it like this:

   from __future__ import generators
   from twisted.flow import flow

   def render(req):
       req.write("<html><head><title>Delayed</title></head>")
       req.write("<body><h1>Delayed WebPage</h1>")
       yield flow.Cooperate(5)
       req.write("<p>Delayed Content</p></body></html>")

   if __name__=='__main__':
       from twisted.internet import reactor
       from twisted.web.server import Site
       from twisted.flow.web import Resource
       print "visit http://localhost:8081/ to view"
       reactor.listenTCP(8081,Site(Resource(render)))
       reactor.run()

def render(self, req): (source)

from twisted.web.resource.IResource

overrides twisted.web.resource.Resource.render

Render a given resource. See IResource's render method.

I delegate to methods of self with the form 'render_METHOD' where METHOD is the HTTP that was used to make the request. Examples: render_GET, render_HEAD, render_POST, and so on. Generally you should implement those methods instead of overriding this one.

render_METHOD methods are expected to return a string which will be the rendered page, unless the return value is twisted.web.server.NOT_DONE_YET, in which case it is this class's responsibility to write the results to request.write(data), then call request.finish().

Old code that overrides render() directly is likewise expected to return a string or NOT_DONE_YET.
