Various asynchronous TCP/IP classes.

End users shouldn't use this module directly - use the reactor APIs instead.

Class ​Base​Client A base class for client TCP (and similar) sockets.
Class ​Client A transport for a TCP protocol; either TCPv4 or TCPv6.
Class ​Connection Superclass of all socket-based FileDescriptors.
Class ​Connector A Connector provides of twisted.internet.interfaces.IConnector for all POSIX-style reactors.
Class ​Port A TCP server port, listening for connections.
Class ​Server Serverside socket-stream connection class.
Constant ENFILE Undocumented
Constant ENOMEM Undocumented
Constant EPERM Undocumented
Interface _​IFile​Descriptor​Reservation No summary
Class _​Aborting​Mixin Common implementation of abortConnection.
Class _​Base​Base​Client Code shared with other (non-POSIX) reactors for management of general outgoing connections.
Class _​Base​TCPClient Code shared with other (non-POSIX) reactors for management of outgoing TCP connections (both TCPv4 and TCPv6).
Class _​Buffers​Logs A context manager that buffers any log events until after its block exits.
Class _​File​Descriptor​Reservation _IFileDescriptorReservation implementation.
Class _​Null​File​Descriptor​Reservation A null implementation of _IFileDescriptorReservation.
Class _​Socket​Closer
Class _​TLSClient​Mixin Undocumented
Class _​TLSConnection​Mixin Undocumented
Class _​TLSServer​Mixin Undocumented
Function _accept Return a generator that yields client sockets from the provided listening socket until there are none left or an unrecoverable error occurs.
Function _getpeername See _getrealname.
Function _getrealname No summary
Function _getsockname See _getrealname.
Function _resolve​IPv6 Resolve an IPv6 literal into an IPv6 address.

def _accept(logger, accepts, listener, reservedFD): (source)
Return a generator that yields client sockets from the provided listening socket until there are none left or an unrecoverable error occurs.
Parameters
logger:LoggerA logger to which accept-related events will be logged. This should not log to arbitrary observers that might open a file descriptor to avoid claiming the EMFILE file descriptor on UNIX-like systems.
accepts:An iterable.An iterable iterated over to limit the number consecutive accepts.
listener:socket.socketThe listening socket.
reserved​FD:_IFileDescriptorReservationA reserved file descriptor that can be used to recover from EMFILE on UNIX-like systems.
Returns
A generator that yields (socket, addr) tuples from socket.socket.accept
def _getpeername(skt): (source)
def _getrealname(addr): (source)
Return a 2-tuple of socket IP and port for IPv4 and a 4-tuple of socket IP, port, flowInfo, and scopeID for IPv6. For IPv6, it returns the interface portion (the part after the %) as a part of the IPv6 address, which Python 3.7+ does not include.
Parameters
addrA 2-tuple for IPv4 information or a 4-tuple for IPv6 information.
def _getsockname(skt): (source)
def _resolveIPv6(ip, port): (source)

Resolve an IPv6 literal into an IPv6 address.

This is necessary to resolve any embedded scope identifiers to the relevant sin6_scope_id for use with socket.connect(), socket.listen(), or socket.bind(); see RFC 3493 for more information.

Parameters
ip:strAn IPv6 address literal.
port:intA port number.
Returns
a 4-tuple of (host, port, flow, scope), suitable for use as an IPv6 address.
Raises
socket.gaierrorif either the IP or port is not numeric as it should be.
