asyncore/asynchat

[F.G.Testa]

Hi!
Is there a way to access a specific connected socket when using a derived
asyncore.dispat cher and derived asynchat.async_ chat?

class AcmeServer(asyn core.dispatcher ):
def __init__(self, port):
self.create_soc ket(socket.AF_I NET, socket.SOCK_STR EAM)
self.bind(("", port))
self.listen(5)

def handle_accept(s elf):
conn, addr = self.accept()
AcmeChannel(sel f, conn, addr)

def handle_close(se lf):
print 'Server closed'

def handle_error(se lf):
print 'Server error'

How do I access the underlying list/map/array of AcmeChannel?
Thank you.

There is none, but feel free to keep one yourself; I've done that, for
instance, when I want to limit the number of connections to a server
that should (barring malicious clients) have very fast sessions.

Re: asyncore/asynchat

But how do you keep it updated since we don't receive any notifications of
closing/removing channels from asyncore/asynchat?
I've found this: asyncore.socket _map (asyncore.py:62 ). It is a map of your
inherited asynchat class and I'm using it to search for a specific channel
and send data to it, but having my own dictionary would be more elegant, I
think.

For my purposes I didn't need to keep it updated. Why why do you need
access to such a dictionary? Is the channel itself unable to decide
when it needs to send information?

Re: asyncore/asynchat

A map argument may be passed to asyncore.loop()
asyncore.socket _map constains either a reference to the argument
passed to asyncore.loop() or a global map object.
asyncore.socket _map contains all the connections.

You may also keep track of connections yourself by handling the
callback functions
asyncore.handle _accept()
asyncore.handle _connect()
aysncore.handle _close()
