Implements interfaces: twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorDaemonize, twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorFDSet

View In Hierarchy

A reactor that uses kqueue(2)/kevent(2) and relies on Python 2.6 or higher which has built in support for kqueue in the select module.
Method __init__ Initialize kqueue object, file descriptor tracking dictionaries, and the base class.
Method addReader Implement IReactorFDSet.addReader.
Method addWriter Implement IReactorFDSet.addWriter.
Method afterDaemonize Implement IReactorDaemonize.afterDaemonize.
Method beforeDaemonize Implement IReactorDaemonize.beforeDaemonize.
Method doKEvent Poll the kqueue for new events.
Method getReaders Implement IReactorFDSet.getReaders.
Method getWriters Implement IReactorFDSet.getWriters.
Method removeAll Implement IReactorFDSet.removeAll.
Method removeReader Implement IReactorFDSet.removeReader.
Method removeWriter Implement IReactorFDSet.removeWriter.
Method _doWriteOrRead Private method called when a FD is ready for reading, writing or was lost. Do the work and raise errors where necessary.
Method _updateRegistration Private method for changing kqueue registration on a given FD filtering for events given filter/op. This will never block and returns nothing.
Instance Variable _impl The implementation of _IKQueue to use.
Instance Variable _kq A kqueue which will be used to check for I/O readiness.
Instance Variable _reads A set containing integer file descriptors. Values in this set will be registered with _kq for read readiness notifications which will be dispatched to the corresponding FileDescriptor instances in _selectables.
Instance Variable _selectables A dictionary mapping integer file descriptors to instances of FileDescriptor which have been registered with the reactor. All FileDescriptors which are currently receiving read or write readiness notifications will be present as values in this dictionary.
Instance Variable _writes A set containing integer file descriptors. Values in this set will be registered with _kq for write readiness notifications which will be dispatched to the corresponding FileDescriptor instances in _selectables.

Instance Variable waker Undocumented
Method _handleSignals Extend the basic signal handling logic to also support handling SIGCHLD to know when to try to reap child processes.
Method _removeAll Remove all readers and writers, and list of removed IReadDescriptors and IWriteDescriptors.
Method _uninstallHandler If a child waker was created and installed, uninstall it now.
Class Variable _supportedAddressFamilies Undocumented
Instance Variable _childWaker None or a reference to the _SIGCHLDWaker which is used to properly notice child process termination.

Inherited from _SignalReactorMixin (via PosixReactorBase):

Method mainLoop Undocumented
Method run Undocumented
Method startRunning Extend the base implementation in order to remember whether signal handlers should be installed later.
Method _reallyStartRunning Extend the base implementation by also installing signal handlers, if self._installSignalHandlers is true.
Instance Variable _installSignalHandlers A flag which indicates whether any signal handlers will be installed during startup. This includes handlers for SIGCHLD to monitor child processes, and SIGINT, SIGTERM, and SIGBREAK to stop the reactor.

Inherited from _DisconnectSelectableMixin (via PosixReactorBase):

Method _disconnectSelectable Utility function for disconnecting a selectable.
