18.5.4. Transports and protocols (callback based API)

    Source code: Lib/asyncio/protocols.py

    Transports are classes provided by in order to abstract various kinds of communication channels. You generally won’t instantiate a transport yourself; instead, you will call an AbstractEventLoop method which will create the transport and try to initiate the underlying communication channel, calling you back when it succeeds.

    Once the communication channel is established, a transport is always paired with a instance. The protocol can then call the transport’s methods for various purposes.

    asyncio currently implements transports for TCP, UDP, SSL, and subprocess pipes. The methods available on a transport depend on the transport’s kind.

    传输类属于 。

    在 3.6 版更改: The socket option is now set by default.

    class asyncio.BaseTransport

    Base class for transports.

    • is_closing()

      返回 True ,如果传输正在关闭或已经关闭。

      3.5.1 新版功能.

    • get_extra_info(name, default=None)

      Return optional transport information. name is a string representing the piece of transport-specific information to get, default is the value to return if the information doesn’t exist.

      This method allows transport implementations to easily expose channel-specific information.

      • 套接字:

      • SSL套接字

        • 'compression': 用字符串指定压缩算法,或者链接没有压缩时为 None ; 的结果。

        • 'cipher': 一个三值的元组,包含使用密码的名称,定义使用的SSL协议的版本,使用的加密位数。 ssl.SSLSocket.cipher() 的结果。

        • 'peercert': 远端凭证; 结果。

        • 'sslcontext': ssl.SSLContext 实例

        • 'ssl_object': 或 ssl.SSLSocket 实例

      • 管道:

        • 'pipe': 管道对象
      • 子进程:

        • 'subprocess': 实例
    • set_protocol(protocol)

      Set a new protocol. Switching protocol should only be done when both protocols are documented to support the switch.

      3.5.3 新版功能.

    • get_protocol()

      返回当前协议。

      3.5.3 新版功能.

    在 3.5.1 版更改: 'ssl_object' info was added to SSL sockets.

    18.5.4.1.2. ReadTransport

    class asyncio.ReadTransport

    Interface for read-only transports.

    • pause_reading()

      Pause the receiving end of the transport. No data will be passed to the protocol’s data_received() method until is called.

      在 3.6.7 版更改: 这个方法幂等的, 它可以在传输已经暂停或关闭时调用。

    18.5.4.1.3. WriteTransport

    class asyncio.WriteTransport

    Interface for write-only transports.

    • abort()

      Close the transport immediately, without waiting for pending operations to complete. Buffered data will be lost. No more data will be received. The protocol’s connection_lost() method will eventually be called with as its argument.

    • ()

      Return True if the transport supports , False if not.

    • get_write_buffer_size()

      返回传输使用输出缓冲区的当前大小。

    • get_write_buffer_limits()

      Get the high- and low-water limits for write flow control. Return a tuple (low, high) where low and high are positive number of bytes.

      使用 设置限制。

    • set_write_buffer_limits(high=None, low=None)

      Set the high- and low-water limits for write flow control.

      These two values (measured in number of bytes) control when the protocol’s pause_writing() and resume_writing() methods are called. If specified, the low-water limit must be less than or equal to the high-water limit. Neither high nor low can be negative.

      pause_writing() is called when the buffer size becomes greater than or equal to the high value. If writing has been paused, resume_writing() is called when the buffer size becomes less than or equal to the low value.

      The defaults are implementation-specific. If only the high-water limit is given, the low-water limit defaults to an implementation-specific value less than or equal to the high-water limit. Setting high to zero forces low to zero as well, and causes pause_writing() to be called whenever the buffer becomes non-empty. Setting low to zero causes resume_writing() to be called only once the buffer is empty. Use of zero for either limit is generally sub-optimal as it reduces opportunities for doing I/O and computation concurrently.

      Use get_write_buffer_limits() to get the limits.

    • write(data)

      将一些 data 字节串写入传输。

      此方法不会阻塞;它会缓冲数据并安排其被异步地发出。

    • writelines(list_of_data)

      将数据字节串的列表(或任意可迭代对象)写入传输。 这在功能上等价于在可迭代对象产生的每个元素上调用 ,但其实现可能更为高效。

    • write_eof()

      Close the write end of the transport after flushing buffered data. Data may still be received.

      This method can raise NotImplementedError if the transport (e.g. SSL) doesn’t support half-closes.

    18.5.4.1.4. DatagramTransport

    DatagramTransport.sendto(data, addr=None)

    data 字节串发送到 addr (基于传输的目标地址) 所给定的远端对等方。 如果 addrNone,则将数据发送到传输创建时给定的目标地址。

    此方法不会阻塞;它会缓冲数据并安排其被异步地发出。

    DatagramTransport.abort()

    Close the transport immediately, without waiting for pending operations to complete. Buffered data will be lost. No more data will be received. The protocol’s connection_lost() method will eventually be called with as its argument.

    18.5.4.1.5. BaseSubprocessTransport

    class asyncio.BaseSubprocessTransport

    • get_pid()

      将子进程的进程 ID 以整数形式返回。

    • get_pipe_transport(fd)

      返回对应于整数文件描述符 fd 的通信管道的传输:

      • 0: 标准输入 (stdin) 的可读流式传输,如果子进程创建时未设置 stdin=PIPE 则为 。

      • 1: 标准输出writable streaming transport of the standard output (stdout) 的可写流式传输,如果子进程创建时未设置 stdout=PIPE 则为 None

      • 2: 标准错误 (stderr) 的可写流式传输,如果子进程创建时未设置 stderr=PIPE 则为

      • 其他 fd: None

    • get_returncode()

      Return the subprocess returncode as an integer or if it hasn’t returned, similarly to the subprocess.Popen.returncode attribute.

    • kill()

      Kill the subprocess, as in .

      在 POSIX 系统中,函数会发送 SIGKILL 到子进程。 在 Windows 中,此方法是 terminate() 的别名。

    • send_signal(signal)

      发送 signal 编号到子进程,与 一样。

    • terminate()

      Ask the subprocess to stop, as in subprocess.Popen.terminate(). This method is an alias for the method.

      在 POSIX 系统中,此方法会发送 SIGTERM 到子进程。 在 Windows 中,则会调用 Windows API 函数 TerminateProcess() 来停止子进程。

    • ()

      Ask the subprocess to stop by calling the terminate() method if the subprocess hasn’t returned yet, and close transports of all pipes (stdin, stdout and stderr).

    provides base classes that you can subclass to implement your network protocols. Those classes are used in conjunction with transports (see below): the protocol parses incoming data and asks for the writing of outgoing data, while the transport is responsible for the actual I/O and buffering.

    When subclassing a protocol class, it is recommended you override certain methods. Those methods are callbacks: they will be called by the transport on certain events (for example when some data is received); you shouldn’t call them yourself, unless you are implementing a transport.

    注解

    All callbacks have default implementations, which are empty. Therefore, you only need to implement the callbacks for the events in which you are interested.

    class asyncio.Protocol

    The base class for implementing streaming protocols (for use with e.g. TCP and SSL transports).

    class asyncio.DatagramProtocol

    The base class for implementing datagram protocols (for use with e.g. UDP transports).

    class asyncio.SubprocessProtocol

    The base class for implementing protocols communicating with child processes (through a set of unidirectional pipes).

    18.5.4.2.2. Connection callbacks

    These callbacks may be called on Protocol, and SubprocessProtocol instances:

    BaseProtocol.connection_made(transport)

    链接建立时被调用。

    The transport argument is the transport representing the connection. You are responsible for storing it somewhere (e.g. as an attribute) if you need to.

    链接丢失或关闭时被调用。

    方法的参数是一个异常对象或为 。 后者意味着收到了常规的 EOF,或者连接被连接的一端取消或关闭。

    connection_made() and are called exactly once per successful connection. All other callbacks will be called between those two methods, which allows for easier resource management in your protocol implementation.

    The following callbacks may be called only on SubprocessProtocol instances:

    SubprocessProtocol.pipe_data_received(fd, data)

    Called when the child process writes data into its stdout or stderr pipe. fd is the integer file descriptor of the pipe. data is a non-empty bytes object containing the data.

    SubprocessProtocol.pipe_connection_lost(fd, exc)

    Called when one of the pipes communicating with the child process is closed. fd is the integer file descriptor that was closed.

    SubprocessProtocol.process_exited()

    子进程退出时被调用。

    18.5.4.2.3. Streaming protocols

    The following callbacks are called on Protocol instances:

    Protocol.data_received(data)

    当收到数据时被调用。 data 为包含入站数据的非空字节串对象。

    注解

    Whether the data is buffered, chunked or reassembled depends on the transport. In general, you shouldn’t rely on specific semantics and instead make your parsing generic and flexible enough. However, data is always received in the correct order.

    Protocol.eof_received()

    Called when the other end signals it won’t send any more data (for example by calling write_eof(), if the other end also uses asyncio).

    This method may return a false value (including None), in which case the transport will close itself. Conversely, if this method returns a true value, closing the transport is up to the protocol. Since the default implementation returns None, it implicitly closes the connection.

    注解

    Some transports such as SSL don’t support half-closed connections, in which case returning true from this method will not prevent closing the connection.

    data_received() can be called an arbitrary number of times during a connection. However, eof_received() is called at most once and, if called, data_received() won’t be called after it.

    状态机:

    18.5.4.2.4. Datagram protocols

    The following callbacks are called on DatagramProtocol instances.

    DatagramProtocol.datagram_received(data, addr)

    当接收到数据报时被调用。 data 是包含传入数据的字节串对象。 addr 是发送数据的对等端地址;实际的格式取决于具体传输。

    DatagramProtocol.error_received(exc)

    当前一个发送或接收操作引发 时被调用。 excOSError 的实例。

    This method is called in rare conditions, when the transport (e.g. UDP) detects that a datagram couldn’t be delivered to its recipient. In many conditions though, undeliverable datagrams will be silently dropped.

    18.5.4.2.5. Flow control callbacks

    These callbacks may be called on Protocol, and SubprocessProtocol instances:

    BaseProtocol.pause_writing()

    Called when the transport’s buffer goes over the high-water mark.

    BaseProtocol.resume_writing()

    Called when the transport’s buffer drains below the low-water mark.

    pause_writing() and resume_writing() calls are paired – pause_writing() is called once when the buffer goes strictly over the high-water mark (even if subsequent writes increases the buffer size even more), and eventually resume_writing() is called once when the buffer size reaches the low-water mark.

    注解

    If the buffer size equals the high-water mark, pause_writing() is not called – it must go strictly over. Conversely, resume_writing() is called when the buffer size is equal or lower than the low-water mark. These end conditions are important to ensure that things go as expected when either mark is zero.

    注解

    On BSD systems (OS X, FreeBSD, etc.) flow control is not supported for , because send failures caused by writing too many packets cannot be detected easily. The socket always appears ‘ready’ and excess packets are dropped; an OSError with errno set to may or may not be raised; if it is raised, it will be reported to DatagramProtocol.error_received() but otherwise ignored.

    Coroutines can be scheduled in a protocol method using , but there is no guarantee made about the execution order. Protocols are not aware of coroutines created in protocol methods and so will not wait for them.

    To have a reliable execution order, use stream objects in a coroutine with yield from. For example, the coroutine can be used to wait until the write buffer is flushed.

    18.5.4.3.1. TCP echo client protocol

    TCP echo client using the method, send data and wait until the connection is closed:

    The event loop is running twice. The run_until_complete() method is preferred in this short example to raise an exception if the server is not listening, instead of having to write a short coroutine to handle the exception and stop the running loop. At exit, the loop is no longer running, so there is no need to stop the loop in case of an error.

    参见

    The TCP echo client using streams example uses the function.

    18.5.4.3.2. TCP echo server protocol

    TCP echo server using the method, send back received data and close the connection:

    Transport.close() can be called immediately after WriteTransport.write() even if data are not sent yet on the socket: both methods are asynchronous. yield from is not needed because these transport methods are not coroutines.

    参见

    The example uses the asyncio.start_server() function.

    18.5.4.3.3. UDP echo client protocol

    UDP echo client using the AbstractEventLoop.create_datagram_endpoint() method, send data and close the transport when we received the answer:

    18.5.4.3.4. UDP echo server protocol

    UDP echo server using the AbstractEventLoop.create_datagram_endpoint() method, send back received data:

    Wait until a socket receives data using the method with a protocol, and then close the event loop

    参见

    The watch a file descriptor for read events example uses the low-level method to register the file descriptor of a socket.
