Here's an example. I've missed out the other arguments for clarity. The
data being passed is a Unix-style environment string. It needs to be
reformatted to make it suitable for passing in an AmpList, but that's
just an implementation detail. It's because the AmpList requires the
dictionary keys to be declared in advance, but I want to be able to pass
environment variables whose names are only known at run-time. Your code
might not need to do any of that.
First, the command:
class RunCmd(amp.Command):
arguments = [...,
('env', amp.AmpList([('var', amp.String()), ('val',
amp.String())])),
...]
Then the call:
# env is something like {'PATH': '/bin:/usr/bin', 'HOME':
'/home/peter'}
# It needs to be converted into a form suitable for AmpList,
like this:
# [{'var': 'PATH', 'val': '/bin:/usr/bin'}, {'var': 'HOME',
'val': '/home/peter'}]
#
amp_env = [{'var': var, 'val': val} for (var, val) in
env.items()]
d = self.protocol.callRemote(commands.RunCmd, ...,
env=amp_env, ...)
Then the responder:
def runcmd(..., env, ..):
"""Implementation of the AMP command RunCmd.
...
"""
# The "env" argument represents the environment of a process.
# Convert it from the AmpList format back to a Python
dictionary.
#
envd = {}
for var in env:
envd[var['var']] = var['val']
...
return {...}
commands.RunCmd.responder(runcmd)
