Hi Mark,
The problem is that you have overridden buildProtocol in your Factory
and not set the factory attribute on the protocol instance
(ClusterClient instance has no attribute 'factory').
buildProtocol is responsible for creating the protocol instance and the
default implementation takes care of assigning the factory to the protocol.
see the source for Factory and buildProtocol...it's very concise:
http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/browser/tags/releases/twisted-9.0.0/twisted/internet/protocol.py#L87
http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/9.0.0/api/twisted.internet.protocol.Factory.html#buildProtocol
So something like this should work in your case:
def buildProtocol(self, addr):
print 'Connected.'
self.resetDelay()
p = self.protocol()
p.factory = self
return p
This doc is also helpful for understanding the relationship between
Protocols and Factories:
http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/core/howto/servers.html
It may be worth emphasizing that there's no real magic going on
here...you're just assigning a python object as an attribute of the
protocol instance.
