twisted.internet._dumbwin32proc.Process : API documentation

A process that integrates with the Twisted event loop.

If your subprocess is a python program, you need to:

Run python.exe with the '-u' command line option - this turns on unbuffered I/O. Buffering stdout/err/in can cause problems, see e.g. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q1903

If you don't want Windows messing with data passed over stdin/out/err, set the pipes to be in binary mode:

import os, sys, mscvrt
msvcrt.setmode(sys.stdin.fileno(), os.O_BINARY)
msvcrt.setmode(sys.stdout.fileno(), os.O_BINARY)
msvcrt.setmode(sys.stderr.fileno(), os.O_BINARY)

Undocumented

def signalProcess(self, signalID): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.IProcessTransport

Send a signal to the process.

Parameters	signalID	can be one of `"HUP"`, `"KILL"`, `"STOP"`, or `"INT"`. These will be implemented in a cross-platform manner, and so should be used if possible. an integer, where it represents a POSIX signal ID.
Raises	twisted.internet.error.ProcessExitedAlready	The process has already exited.

def processEnded(self, status): (source)

This is called when the child terminates.

def write(self, data): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.IConsumer

Write data to the process' stdin.

def writeSequence(self, seq): (source)

Write data to the process' stdin.

def closeChildFD(self, fd): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.IProcessTransport

Close a file descriptor which is connected to the child process, identified by its FD in the child process.

def closeStdin(self): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.IProcessTransport

Close the process' stdin.

def closeStderr(self): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.IProcessTransport

Close stderr.

def closeStdout(self): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.IProcessTransport

Close stdout.

def loseConnection(self): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.IProcessTransport

Close the process' stdout, in and err.

def outConnectionLost(self): (source)

Undocumented

def errConnectionLost(self): (source)

Undocumented

def inConnectionLost(self): (source)

Undocumented

def connectionLostNotify(self): (source)

Will be called 3 times, by stdout/err threads and process handle.

def registerProducer(self, producer, streaming): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.IConsumer

This sets self to be a consumer for a producer. When this object runs out of data (as when a send(2) call on a socket succeeds in moving the last data from a userspace buffer into a kernelspace buffer), it will ask the producer to resumeProducing().

For IPullProducer providers, resumeProducing will be called once each time data is required.

For IPushProducer providers, pauseProducing will be called whenever the write buffer fills up and resumeProducing will only be called when it empties.

Parameters	producer	(type: `IProducer` provider )
	streaming	`True` if `producer` provides `IPushProducer`, `False` if `producer` provides `IPullProducer`. (type: `bool` )
Returns	`None`
