I'm coming back to Python after an absence and it's surprising how
many things I've forgotten since wandering (against my will) into Java
land.
Anyway, I have a need for a way to make SimpleXMLRPCServer
interruptable. Basically, I have a main server that, in response to
certain RPC calls, creates additional servers on different ports. I
then need to be able to shut these additional servers down.
I've got something like this in the __init__ of the class which
contains the spawned servers:
def __init__(self, host, port):
:
:
server = SimpleXMLRPCServer((host, port))
:
: Bunch of server.register_function calls
:
def serverWrapper():
try:
while True:
server.handle_request()
except:
pass
One of the methods that I register is:
def shutdown(self):
raise "Quitting time"
Through watching logs and such I can see that the shutdown() method is
getting called, but the loop isn't getting broken. I've done
something like this before in a previous job (so I don't have my
source in front of me, more's the pity) and am hoping someone can
chime in with a good idea.
Thanks in advance!
