Hi Roman! Doing great so far, no mistakes I can see.

This is a great question and really points to a weakness in the PB

Yeah, adding a Referenceable argument is not really the right way to go; you
don't want to have to expose a whole object and thereby change your network
protocol just to get access to an object that's already present in the existing
implementation.
What you need to do here is take advantage of the remoteMessageReceived method,
https://twistedmatrix.com/documents/16.6.0/api/twisted.spread.pb.Referenceable.html#remoteMessageReceived
<https://twistedmatrix.com/documents/16.6.0/api/twisted.spread.pb.Referenceable.html#remoteMessageReceived>,
which is what actually calls the remote_ method for you.
The documentation isn't entirely clear, as it says it's calling the remote_
method with "the same" arguments, but if you look at the implementation, it is
fairly straightforward:
https://github.com/twisted/twisted/blob/3257fbb3504329f603cc9b6e17442d913170b5d1/src/twisted/spread/flavors.py#L104-L124
<https://github.com/twisted/twisted/blob/3257fbb3504329f603cc9b6e17442d913170b5d1/src/twisted/spread/flavors.py#L104-L124>
it deserializes the arguments, calls the method, and serializes the result.
Notice that in order to do this serializing and deserializing, it's called with
the broker, which is the object that has the IP you want. So you could
override this method to do its own serialization and deserialization. But,
luckily enough, there's something very close to what you want already:
ViewPoint, which already does the insertion-of-an-argument for you. So here's
a little hack which will insert 'broker' as the first argument and call a
'view_' method rather than a 'remote_' one:
from twisted.spread.flavors import Referenceable, ViewPoint
class BrokerizedReferenceable(Referenceable, object):
def remoteMessageReceived(self, broker, message, args, kw):
return (ViewPoint(broker, self)
.remoteMessageReceived(broker, message, args, kw))
This is untested but hopefully it will be close enough to put you on your way.
Make sense?
