Hello to all,
I'm trying to reproduce the PipeService1 from Mark Hammond's "Python
programming on win32" (which you can get on M. Hammond web site, in the
sample package, chapter 18). I googled this but there's not much posts
about this topic.
I'm trying to use the Service frame in that example but using the
SocketServer module to manage the socket connections. Specifically, the
SocketServer.ThreadingTCPServer seem to do the job and since it's
working right out of the box, I rather use this then write my own. My
problem is that in the example, within the infinite loop any
deamon/service must have, the script is actually waiting for either of
two events to occur before it'll move: the first one to stop the
service, the second one is used to tell the process that a client is
waiting. I'm ok with the stopping event. But unless I use the win32pipe
module, I don't see any way I could tell my script there's a client
knocking at the socket. But if so, I can't use the ThreadingTCPServer
and I must manage my connections by myself.
The idea I have is to start a thread in which the ThreadingTCPServer
would run but I'm not sure about what will happen when the service will
be stop. Will all that sub-threads be killed? If so I'm ok with it.
If you have any other idea, I'm all open....
Thx
Guilligan
