Method buildProtocol Create an instance of a subclass of Protocol.
Method clientConnectionFailed Called when a connection has failed to connect.
Method stopFactory This will be called before I stop listening on all Ports/Connectors.
Class Variable noisy Undocumented

Inherited from ClientFactory:

Method clientConnectionLost Called when an established connection is lost.
Method startedConnecting Called when a connection has been started.

Inherited from Factory (via ClientFactory):

Class Method forProtocol Create a factory for the given protocol.
Method doStart Make sure startFactory is called.
Method doStop Make sure stopFactory is called.
Method logPrefix Describe this factory for log messages.
Method startFactory This will be called before I begin listening on a Port or Connector.
Class Variable protocol Undocumented
Instance Variable numPorts Undocumented
def buildProtocol(self, addr): (source)

Create an instance of a subclass of Protocol.

The returned instance will handle input on an incoming server connection, and an attribute "factory" pointing to the creating factory.

Alternatively, None may be returned to immediately close the new connection.

Override this method to alter how Protocol instances get created.

Parameters
addran object implementing IAddress
def clientConnectionFailed(self, connector, reason): (source)

Called when a connection has failed to connect.

It may be useful to call connector.connect() - this will reconnect.

Parameters
connectorUndocumented
reason:twisted.python.failure.FailureUndocumented
def stopFactory(self): (source)

This will be called before I stop listening on all Ports/Connectors.

This can be overridden to perform 'shutdown' tasks such as disconnecting database connections, closing files, etc.

It will be called, for example, before an application shuts down, if it was connected to a port. User code should not call this function directly.
