I'm new to Pyro and pretty new to Python.
I have the following setup: 2 python scripts
Here is server.py:
import os
import sys
import Pyro4
class Packet(object):
must_shutdown = False
def __init__(self):
self.some_attr = ""
def close_connection(self):
self.must_shutdown=True
def main():
try:
daemon = Pyro4.Daemon(host="localhost", port=65432)
packet = Packet()
uri = daemon.register(packet, "my.packet")
print "Ready. Object uri =", uri
daemon.requestLoop(loopCondition=lambda: not packet.must_shutdown)
print "after loop"
except Exception, e:
print "Exception" + str(e)
finally:
print "Finally"
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
and this is client.py:
import os
import sys
import Pyro4
def main():
try:
packet = Pyro4.Proxy("PYRO:my.packet@localhost:65432")
packet.some_attr = "this is client"
packet.close_connection()
print "client exiting"
except Exception, e:
print "Exception: " + str(e)
finally:
print "Finnally"
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
As you noticed, in server.py, in the requestloop there is a loopCondition "listening" for packet.must_shutdown to change to True. I start server.py and then client.py. The Pyro Packet object in client.py is obtained successfully.
The problem is that even though I call close_connection method on the Pyro Packet object, thus setting must_shutdown to "True", the requestLoop does not break and the server still listening for requests. I log in close_connection and it is called but the interesting thing is that self.some_attr is still empty even thought it was set in client.py. It is like, somehow, client deals with another instance of Packet object than the one instantiated in server. What I'm missing here?
