socketpool

Socketpool - a simple Python socket pool.

Socket pool is a simple socket pool that sumport multiple factory and backend. It can easily be used by gevent, eventlet or any other library.

Usage

socketpool offers 3 main classes, a ConnectionPool class abble to accept a factory and a backend, Connector and interface class inherited by all connector and a default TCP connector TcpConnector .

Example of a simple echo client using Gevent

import gevent
from gevent.server import StreamServer

from socketpool import ConnectionPool, TcpConnector

# this handler will be run for each incoming connection
# in a dedicated greenlet
def echo(sock, address):
    print ('New connection from %s:%s' % address)

    while True:
        data = sock.recv(1024)
        if not data:
            break
        sock.send(data)
        print ("echoed %r" % data)



if __name__ == '__main__':
    import time

    options = {'host': 'localhost', 'port': 6000}
    pool = ConnectionPool(factory=TcpConnector, backend="gevent")
    server = StreamServer(('localhost', 6000), echo)
    gevent.spawn(server.serve_forever)


    def runpool(data):
        print 'ok'
        with pool.connection(**options) as conn:
            print 'sending'
            sent = conn.send(data)
            print 'send %d bytes' % sent
            echo_data = conn.recv(1024)
            print "got %s" % data
            assert data == echo_data

    start = time.time()
    jobs = [gevent.spawn(runpool, "blahblah") for _ in xrange(20)]

    gevent.joinall(jobs)
    delay = time.time() - start

Example of a connector

class TcpConnector(Connector):

    def __init__(self, host, port, backend_mod):
        self._s = backend_mod.Socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
        self._s.connect((host, port))
        self.host = host
        self.port = port
        self._connected = True
        self._life = time.time()

    def matches(self, **match_options):
        target_host = match_options.get('host')
        target_port = match_options.get('port')
        return target_host == self.host and target_port == self.port

    def is_connected(self):
        return self._connected

    def handle_exception(self, exception):
        print 'got an exception'
        print str(exception)

    def get_lifetime(self):
        return self._life

    def invalidate(self):
        self._s.close()
        self._connected = False
        self._life = -1

    def send(self, data):
        return self._s.send(data)

    def recv(self, size=1024):
        return self._s.recv(size)
