How can I exchange a data block using a Twisted server, and while periodically updating this data in the background ?:
from twisted.internet import reactor
from twisted.internet import task
from twisted.web.server import Site
from twisted.web.resource import Resource
data = 1
def update_data():
data += 1
class DataPage(Resource):
isLeaf = True
def render_GET(self, request):
return "<html><body>%s</body></html>" % (data, )
root = Resource()
root.putChild("data", DataPage())
factory = Site(root)
reactor.listenTCP(8880, factory)
m = task.LoopingCall(update_data)
m.start(10.0)
print "running"
reactor.run()
The above code does not work due to the following exception:
C:\temp>python discovery.py
Unhandled error in Deferred:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "discovery.py", line 23, in <module>
m.start(10.0)
File "c:\python25\lib\site-packages\twisted\internet\task.py", line 163, in start
self()
File "c:\python25\lib\site-packages\twisted\internet\task.py", line 194, in __call__
d = defer.maybeDeferred(self.f, *self.a, **self.kw)
--- <exception caught here> ---
File "c:\python25\lib\site-packages\twisted\internet\defer.py", line 102, in maybeDeferred
result = f(*args, **kw)
File "discovery.py", line 10, in update_data
data += 1
exceptions.UnboundLocalError: local variable 'data' referenced before assignment
I would like HTTP clients in this example to get http://127.0.0.1:8880/data and retrieve the current value of the data, at the same time there is another task planned to update the data regularly.
Also, I really don't want to use LoopingCall (), because I can change the interval depending on whether this update is successful or not; the update will be a kind of remote API call. Can I use CallLater () in some way?
I am sure this is a stupid question! Thank.
: . , , callLater() :
from twisted.internet import reactor
from twisted.internet import task
from twisted.web.server import Site
from twisted.web.resource import Resource
data = 1
def update_data():
global data
data += 1
reactor.callLater(10, update_data)
class DataPage(Resource):
isLeaf = True
def render_GET(self, request):
return "<html><body>%s</body></html>" % (data, )
root = Resource()
root.putChild("data", DataPage())
factory = Site(root)
reactor.listenTCP(8880, factory)
update_data()
print "running"
reactor.run()
