pyssockets

These are Python bindings for SSockets.

There is a Docker image that bundles Alpine Linux with Python, pip, and pyssockets.

Introduction

Hope you're familiar with SSockets already. If not, go have a look.

Coding in C is cool and all, but we all want to mess around and hack things together sometimes. Python is great for that. This is for keeping the scalability of SSockets, I/O multiplexing and all, even if degrading throughput due to the language of choice.

This module is exclusively distributed as sources, so SSockets is expected to be there when doing:

pip install pyssockets

For this very reason, pyssockets versions are not correlated to SSockets versions. You should consider the Docker image for ease of deployment.

How to use

You might want to see an example.

The following functions are available:

• pyssockets.addState, which receives a function.
• pyssockets.setHangupCallback, pyssockets.setTimeoutCallback, and pyssockets.setDestroyCallback receive a function too.
• pyssockets.run(ip : str, port : int, nthreads : int)

These constants are defined too:

• pyssockets.RET_OK
• pyssockets.RET_READ
• pyssockets.RET_WRITE
• pyssockets.RET_ERROR
• pyssockets.RET_FINISHED
