asyncio.transports

Abstract Transport class.

Classes

BaseTransport

Base class for transports.
close(self)

  Close the transport.

          Buffered data will be flushed asynchronously.  No more data
          will be received.  After all buffered data is flushed, the
          protocol's connection_lost() method will (eventually) be
          called with None as its argument.
        
get_extra_info(self, name, default=None)

  Get optional transport information.
get_protocol(self)

  Return the current protocol.
is_closing(self)

  Return True if the transport is closing or closed.
set_protocol(self, protocol)

  Set a new protocol.

DatagramTransport

Interface for datagram (UDP) transports.
abort(self)

  Close the transport immediately.

          Buffered data will be lost.  No more data will be received.
          The protocol's connection_lost() method will (eventually) be
          called with None as its argument.
        
close(self)

  Close the transport.

          Buffered data will be flushed asynchronously.  No more data
          will be received.  After all buffered data is flushed, the
          protocol's connection_lost() method will (eventually) be
          called with None as its argument.
        
get_extra_info(self, name, default=None)

  Get optional transport information.
get_protocol(self)

  Return the current protocol.
is_closing(self)

  Return True if the transport is closing or closed.
sendto(self, data, addr=None)

  Send data to the transport.

          This does not block; it buffers the data and arranges for it
          to be sent out asynchronously.
          addr is target socket address.
          If addr is None use target address pointed on transport creation.
        
set_protocol(self, protocol)

  Set a new protocol.

ReadTransport

Interface for read-only transports.
close(self)

  Close the transport.

          Buffered data will be flushed asynchronously.  No more data
          will be received.  After all buffered data is flushed, the
          protocol's connection_lost() method will (eventually) be
          called with None as its argument.
        
get_extra_info(self, name, default=None)

  Get optional transport information.
get_protocol(self)

  Return the current protocol.
is_closing(self)

  Return True if the transport is closing or closed.
is_reading(self)

  Return True if the transport is receiving.
pause_reading(self)

  Pause the receiving end.

          No data will be passed to the protocol's data_received()
          method until resume_reading() is called.
        
resume_reading(self)

  Resume the receiving end.

          Data received will once again be passed to the protocol's
          data_received() method.
        
set_protocol(self, protocol)

  Set a new protocol.

SubprocessTransport

close(self)

  Close the transport.

          Buffered data will be flushed asynchronously.  No more data
          will be received.  After all buffered data is flushed, the
          protocol's connection_lost() method will (eventually) be
          called with None as its argument.
        
get_extra_info(self, name, default=None)

  Get optional transport information.
get_pid(self)

  Get subprocess id.
get_pipe_transport(self, fd)

  Get transport for pipe with number fd.
get_protocol(self)

  Return the current protocol.
get_returncode(self)

  Get subprocess returncode.

          See also
          http://docs.python.org/3/library/subprocess#subprocess.Popen.returncode
        
is_closing(self)

  Return True if the transport is closing or closed.
kill(self)

  Kill the subprocess.

          On Posix OSs the function sends SIGKILL to the subprocess.
          On Windows kill() is an alias for terminate().

          See also:
          http://docs.python.org/3/library/subprocess#subprocess.Popen.kill
        
send_signal(self, signal)

  Send signal to subprocess.

          See also:
          docs.python.org/3/library/subprocess#subprocess.Popen.send_signal
        
set_protocol(self, protocol)

  Set a new protocol.
terminate(self)

  Stop the subprocess.

          Alias for close() method.

          On Posix OSs the method sends SIGTERM to the subprocess.
          On Windows the Win32 API function TerminateProcess()
           is called to stop the subprocess.

          See also:
          http://docs.python.org/3/library/subprocess#subprocess.Popen.terminate
        

Transport

Interface representing a bidirectional transport.

    There may be several implementations, but typically, the user does
    not implement new transports; rather, the platform provides some
    useful transports that are implemented using the platform's best
    practices.

    The user never instantiates a transport directly; they call a
    utility function, passing it a protocol factory and other
    information necessary to create the transport and protocol.  (E.g.
    EventLoop.create_connection() or EventLoop.create_server().)

    The utility function will asynchronously create a transport and a
    protocol and hook them up by calling the protocol's
    connection_made() method, passing it the transport.

    The implementation here raises NotImplemented for every method
    except writelines(), which calls write() in a loop.
    
abort(self)

  Close the transport immediately.

          Buffered data will be lost.  No more data will be received.
          The protocol's connection_lost() method will (eventually) be
          called with None as its argument.
        
can_write_eof(self)

  Return True if this transport supports write_eof(), False if not.
close(self)

  Close the transport.

          Buffered data will be flushed asynchronously.  No more data
          will be received.  After all buffered data is flushed, the
          protocol's connection_lost() method will (eventually) be
          called with None as its argument.
        
get_extra_info(self, name, default=None)

  Get optional transport information.
get_protocol(self)

  Return the current protocol.
get_write_buffer_limits(self)

  Get the high and low watermarks for write flow control. 
          Return a tuple (low, high) where low and high are 
          positive number of bytes.
get_write_buffer_size(self)

  Return the current size of the write buffer.
is_closing(self)

  Return True if the transport is closing or closed.
is_reading(self)

  Return True if the transport is receiving.
pause_reading(self)

  Pause the receiving end.

          No data will be passed to the protocol's data_received()
          method until resume_reading() is called.
        
resume_reading(self)

  Resume the receiving end.

          Data received will once again be passed to the protocol's
          data_received() method.
        
set_protocol(self, protocol)

  Set a new protocol.
set_write_buffer_limits(self, high=None, low=None)

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

          These two values control when to call the protocol's
          pause_writing() and resume_writing() methods.  If specified,
          the low-water limit must be less than or equal to the
          high-water limit.  Neither value can be negative.

          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.
        
write(self, data)

  Write some data bytes to the transport.

          This does not block; it buffers the data and arranges for it
          to be sent out asynchronously.
        
write_eof(self)

  Close the write end after flushing buffered data.

          (This is like typing ^D into a UNIX program reading from stdin.)

          Data may still be received.
        
writelines(self, list_of_data)

  Write a list (or any iterable) of data bytes to the transport.

          The default implementation concatenates the arguments and
          calls write() on the result.
        

WriteTransport

Interface for write-only transports.
abort(self)

  Close the transport immediately.

          Buffered data will be lost.  No more data will be received.
          The protocol's connection_lost() method will (eventually) be
          called with None as its argument.

  Return True if this transport supports write_eof(), False if not.
