For testing implementations of a TCP-based protocol, I am testing
if an implementation is agnostic wrt to in what chops in receives
octets from the wire ("stream clean").To do that, I force out octets from the protocol test driver (written in Twisted) in differently sized chops, down to single octets. Currently, I am using reactor.doSelect(0) after a transport.write() to force out outstanding octets to wire. I know this should not be done like this, but is there a clean and supported way to do that? def syncSocket(self): ## FIXME: find suitable replacement for this code, which appears to break ## sometimes .. ## ## From the web: "You should never call reactor.doSelect. This isn't portable across ## reactors, and it could easily break the reactor by re-entering it where it isn't ## expecting to be re-entered." ## try: reactor.doSelect(0) return True except: return False # socket has already gone away .. _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
