twisted.internet.process.PTYProcess : API documentation

Method	__init__	Spawn an operating-system process.
Method	closeStdin	Undocumented
Method	closeStdout	Undocumented
Method	closeStderr	Undocumented
Method	doRead	Called when my standard output stream is ready for reading.
Method	fileno	This returns the file number of standard output on this process.
Method	maybeCallProcessEnded	Call processEnded on protocol after final cleanup.
Method	connectionLost	I call this to clean up when one or all of my connections has died.
Method	writeSomeData	Write some data to the open process.
Method	_setupChild	Setup child process after fork() but before exec().

Inherited from FileDescriptor:

Method	doWrite	Called when data can be written.
Method	writeConnectionLost	Indicates write connection was lost.
Method	readConnectionLost	Indicates read 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	registerProducer	Register to receive data from a producer.
Method	unregisterProducer	Stop consuming data from a producer, without disconnecting.
Method	stopConsuming	Stop consuming data.
Method	resumeProducing	Undocumented
Method	pauseProducing	Undocumented
Method	stopProducing	Stop producing data.
Method	_postLoseConnection	Called after a loseConnection(), when all data has been written.
Method	_closeWriteConnection	Undocumented

Inherited from Logger (via FileDescriptor):

Method

logPrefix

Override this method to insert custom logging behavior. Its return value will be inserted in front of every line. It may be called more times than the number of output lines.

Inherited from Ephemeral (via FileDescriptor):

Method	__getstate__	Undocumented
Method	__setstate__	Undocumented

Inherited from _BaseProcess:

Method	reapProcess	Try to reap a process (without blocking) via waitpid.
Method	signalProcess	No summary
Method	__repr__	String representation of a process.
Method	_getReason	Undocumented
Method	_fork	Fork and then exec sub-process.
Method	_execChild	The exec() which is done in the forked child.

Inherited from BaseProcess (via _BaseProcess):

Method	processEnded	This is called when the child terminates.
Method	_callProcessExited	Undocumented

Inherited from Ephemeral (via _BaseProcess, BaseProcess):

Method	__getstate__	Undocumented
Method	__setstate__	Undocumented

def __init__(self, reactor, executable, args, environment, path, proto, uid=None, gid=None, usePTY=None): (source)

overrides twisted.internet.abstract.FileDescriptor.__init__

Spawn an operating-system process.

This is where the hard work of disconnecting all currently open files / forking / executing the new process happens. (This is executed automatically when a Process is instantiated.)

This will also run the subprocess as a given user ID and group ID, if specified. (Implementation Note: this doesn't support all the arcane nuances of setXXuid on UNIX: it will assume that either your effective or real UID is 0.)
