Hi Tim,
I think you need to keep a reference to an instance of your
MyClientProtocol. Your example does not show how you actually connected
your bot to a server but I assume it follows on the call to load_config on
startService. One way to do this:
class MyService(Service):
def __init__(self):
self._client = None
def clientConnected(self, prot):
# set reference to the protocol instance
self._client = prot
def startService():
self.config = load_config(config_file)
# connect bot to the server
f = MyClientFactory(self)
reactor.connectTCP(self.config.host, self.config.port, f)
def sendMessage(self, msg):
if self._client:
self._client.sendLine(msg)
Client reference can be set from the protocol instance when connection has
been made:
class MyClientProtocol(protocol.Protocol):
#
def connectionMade(self):
self.factory.service.clientConnected(self)
HTH,
Enrique
