Is there a good way, in, say, a LineReceiver based server, to implement
a bit of code in lineReceived() that, if you receive a line like, let's
say, 'shutdown' from a client, you can call:
1) self.transport.write('goodbye\n') # send a goodbye message to the
client
And then call
2) self.transport.close() # close the client's socket
And then
3) reactor.stop() # terminate the server
The problem I'm finding is that since I believe self.transport.write()
enqueues the writing for later, and self.transport.close() enqueues the
closing for later, both to be picked up by the reactor soon after my
lineReceived() returns, so then if you stop the reactor in #3, it won't
be available anymore to carry out any enqueued tasks for you. At least
I think that's what's happening in my code.
Is there any good workarounds? E.g., is reactor.callLater(5,
reactor.stop) too much of a hack?
