I'm working on a P2P application using twisted. I'm trying to repeatedly search for a specific key in my DHT and add it to a dictionary any time that the value changes. The code is more or less doing what I want to accomplish, except that I still have multiple requests that are running once I get a new value. This sometimes gives me a runtime error saying I've exceeded the maximum recursion depth. How can I change this so that only one get request is running at a time, but that it still constantly searches? I've never used twisted before so I'm still trying to get the hang of it.
#want this to loop repeatedly looking for new ids
def addid(val,server,key):
print "Val: ",val
if val:
if not val in ids:
print "new id found"
valhash = hashlib.sha1()
valhash.update(str(val))
newval = valhash.hexdigest()
ids[val]=newval
server.set(ids[val], str(val))
server.get(key).addCallback(addid,server,key)
def bootstrapDone(found, server):
if len(found) == 0:
print "Could not connect to the bootstrap server."
reactor.stop()
key = hashlib.sha1()
key.update('specialstring')
keyhash = key.hexdigest()
server.get(keyhash).addCallback(addid,server,keyhash)
