def __init__(self, factory, wrappedProtocol, timeoutPeriod): (source)

overrides twisted.protocols.policies.ProtocolWrapper.__init__

Constructor.

Parameters	factory	An `IFactory`.
	wrappedProtocol	A `Protocol` to wrapp.
	timeoutPeriod	Number of seconds to wait for activity before timing out.

def setTimeout(self, timeoutPeriod=None): (source)

Set a timeout.

This will cancel any existing timeouts.

Parameters timeoutPeriod If not None, change the timeout period. Otherwise, use the existing value.

def dataReceived(self, data): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.IProtocol

overrides twisted.protocols.policies.ProtocolWrapper.dataReceived

Called whenever data is received.

Use this method to translate to a higher-level message. Usually, some callback will be made upon the receipt of each complete protocol message.

Parameters data a string of indeterminate length. Please keep in mind that you will probably need to buffer some data, as partial (or multiple) protocol messages may be received! I recommend that unit tests for protocols call through to this method with differing chunk sizes, down to one byte at a time.

def connectionLost(self, reason): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.IProtocol

overrides twisted.protocols.policies.ProtocolWrapper.connectionLost

Called when the connection is shut down.

Clear any circular references here, and any external references to this Protocol. The connection has been closed.

Parameters reason (type: twisted.python.failure.Failure )

def timeoutFunc(self): (source)

This method is called when the timeout is triggered.

By default it calls loseConnection. Override this if you want something else to happen.
