You could probably generalize and simplify by using a collections.deque of
hosts/ports and using the rotate() method before each reactor.connectTCP.
Also, no need for multiple reactor imports---one at the top of the code is
fine. Note that if the connection is "lost" in a non-clean fashion, you may
also want to reconnect. IIUC, "fail" only handles the case that no
connection is made (protocol is never created).
import collections
from twisted.internet import reactor
class MyClientFactory(object):
protocol = MyClientProtocol
def __init__(self, hosts):
self.hosts = collections.deque(hosts)
reactor.callWhenRunning(reactor.connectTCP, self.hosts[0][0],
self.hosts[0][1], self)
self.hosts.rotate(1)
def clientConnectionFailed(self, connector, reason):
reactor.callLater(2.0, connectTCP, self.hosts[0][0],
self.hosts[0][1], self)
self.hosts.rotate(1)
factory = MyClientFactory([('host1', port1), ('host2', port2), ...])
reactor.run()
