I've been trying to create a "byte streaming server", it's basically a
chat server, but I'd like to use it for transfering large amounts of
data between two connected clients. Sounds simple enough, but I'm
having a difficult time implementing it.
If Client #1 connects, then that thread is consumed with listening for
data from that client. If Client #2 connects, that client is on a
different thread, and therefore I don't see how I can have data sent
from Client #1 to be streamed down to Client #2. (and how can client
process #1 accept data from client #2 because it's listening to client
#1?) Obviously I'm missing something.
I've looked at asyncore/asynchat, as well as ThreadingTCPSer ver... but
there's something I'm missing. Is there a simple way to have an
object listen over two ports, and what comes into one port will be
sent down the another?
Any advice, or a good swift kick in the right direction would be
appreciated.

Yes; look up the select module in the standard library (on which
asyncore is built).
Also, note that sockets are not bound to a single thread. If
you don't want to use select, you might have one thread that
reads from socket x and writes to socket y, and another thread
that reads from y and write to x. Some perfectly reasonable
systems have a reading thread and a writing thread for each
socket.

investigate os.select; you don't even need multiple threads for this operation. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Is a BSD select related problem? Is an asyncore problem? Is a spambayes

Hi,
I've been playing around with asyncore for one of my projects, currently
using it to fetch HTTP pages without blocking things. Having a few
issues, though. With the code below, I would start a new async_http
instance with "async_http(url, returnme)". If it encountered a redirect,
that object would start a new one as "async_http(url, returnme,
seen=self._seen)" to remember what URLs it had seen. The problem is that

Hi peeps,
I finally got around recently to doing something serious using Python
for serving network clients asynchronously, deciding on asyncore as my
starting point.
After 2 days or so of fiddling about, I have decided, as many before
me have, that the current asyncore module is the most inflexible,
brain-dead, and useless module to be found on the face of the earth!

I got my server portion working well, and I think I understand the basics.

Hello.
I'm using the asyncore and _chat modules to create a network server. I
also have, running in a separate thread(s), a "producer" which needs to
"push" data onto the network connection(s). (This is all for a
multi-player game server, so the threads would be individual games,
that need to update the players when new events happen in the game)
I currently have a module level list of async_chat instances, which the
thread then reads...

Hello,
SocketServer.ThreadingTCPServer accepts connections (clients can
connect) before and after it's server_forever method is called,
see below for an example.
IMHO it should only accept connections while server_forever is
running.
