lineReceived() not called, only dataReceived

I know a similar question has been asked here, but I am still battling with the following issue:
I am using putty as a telnet client and am using Win10. The code is given below. When I start the reactor and then connect a client, I get a response after each character is typed which is printed using the dataReceived function. However I can never seem to get the function lineReceived() to fire. I also tried a simple chat server example which worked fine using the lineReceived() function (and that example had no dataReceived() function. I tried commenting out dataReceived(), thinking perhaps it was masking out lineReceived().
In the code below, I cannot get lineReceived() to fire , only dataReceived() fires after each character is typed.

You overwrote LineReceiver with your own Protocol subclass, which does not have a lineReceived() method. You just gave me a good reason for using the module path as a namespace instead of importing a specific object :D
from twisted.protocols import basic
from twisted.internet import endpoints, protocol, reactor
class LnRcv(basic.LineReceiver):
def lineReceived(self, line):
print(line)
class DataFactory(protocol.Factory):
protocol = LnRcv
server = endpoints.TCP4ServerEndpoint(reactor, 10003)
server.listen(DataFactory())
reactor.run()
Update
I had some spare time to fix your code. You have string/bytes mismatching all over and unreferenced objects that were not in your original code. Here's an example that should work and give you a base to off of.
from uuid import uuid4
from twisted.internet import reactor
from twisted.internet.endpoints import TCP4ServerEndpoint
from twisted.internet.protocol import Factory, Protocol
from twisted.protocols.basic import LineReceiver
class LnRcv(LineReceiver):
# Client timeout period in seconds
TIMEOUT = 10
def timeOut(self):
print ("Client: %s. %s" % (self.addr, 'Connection Timed out' ))
self.transport.loseConnection()
def connectionMade(self):
self.factory.NUM_CLIENTS += 1
print(f"Connected......number of connections = {self.factory.NUM_CLIENTS}")
peer = self.transport.getPeer()
self.addr = f"{peer.host}:{peer.port}"
self.name = uuid4().hex[:9].upper()
self.transport.write(f"Hello! I temporarily set your ID to {self.name}. What is your name? ".encode("utf8"))
# Start client timeout timer
self.timeout = reactor.callLater(self.TIMEOUT, self.timeOut)
def connectionLost(self, reason):
self.factory.NUM_CLIENTS -= 1
print(f"- {self.name} left because:\n{reason.getErrorMessage()}")
print(f"- Client disconnected: - {self.addr}")
print(f"- Number of connections = {self.factory.NUM_CLIENTS}")
def lineReceived(self, line):
self.sendLine(f"Welcome, {line.decode('utf8')}!".encode("utf8"))
class DataFactory(Factory):
protocol = LnRcv
NUM_CLIENTS = 0
def main():
print("Started...Listening for incoming connections.")
server = TCP4ServerEndpoint(reactor, 10003)
server.listen(DataFactory())
reactor.run()

Twisted Python - Push data to websocket

I've a web-socket server which connects with the clients. Following is the code:-
from twisted.internet.protocol import Factory
from twisted.protocols.basic import LineReceiver
from twisted.internet import reactor
class Chat(LineReceiver):
def __init__(self, users):
self.users = users
self.name = None
self.state = "GETNAME"
def connectionMade(self):
self.sendLine("What's your name?")
def connectionLost(self, reason):
if self.users.has_key(self.name):
del self.users[self.name]
def lineReceived(self, line):
if self.state == "GETNAME":
self.handle_GETNAME(line)
else:
self.handle_CHAT(line)
def handle_GETNAME(self, name):
if self.users.has_key(name):
self.sendLine("Name taken, please choose another.")
return
self.sendLine("Welcome, %s!" % (name,))
self.name = name
self.users[name] = self
self.state = "CHAT"
def handle_CHAT(self, message):
# Need to send the message to the connected clients.
class ChatFactory(Factory):
def __init__(self):
self.users = {} # maps user names to Chat instances
def buildProtocol(self, addr):
return Chat(self.users)
reactor.listenTCP(8123, ChatFactory())
reactor.run()
Clients get connected to the above code(server), and sends the data to the server.
Now, I've another python script, basically a scraper which scrapes the web, processes it and finally need to send the data to the connected clients.
script.py
while True:
# call `send_message` function and send data to the connected clients.
How can I achieve it?? Any example would be of great help!!
UPDATE
After using Autobahn
I've a server that fetches data from 3rd party API. I want to send this data to all the connected web-socket clients. Here is my code:-
class MyServerProtocol(WebSocketServerProtocol):
def __init__(self):
self.connected_users = []
self.send_data()
def onConnect(self, request):
print("Client connecting: {0}".format(request.peer))
def onOpen(self):
print("WebSocket connection open.")
self.connected_users.append(self) # adding users to the connected_list
def send_data(self):
# fetch data from the API and forward it to the connected_users.
for u in self.users:
print 1111
u.sendMessage('Hello, Some Data from API!', False)
def onClose(self, wasClean, code, reason):
connected_users.remove(self) # remove user from the connected list of users
print("WebSocket connection closed: {0}".format(reason))
if __name__ == '__main__':
import sys
from twisted.python import log
from twisted.internet import reactor
factory = WebSocketServerFactory(u"ws://127.0.0.1:9000")
factory.protocol = MyServerProtocol
reactor.listenTCP(9000, factory)
reactor.run()
My Server will never receive a message or probably will receive, but as of right now there's no such use-case, hence no need for OnMessage event for this example).
How do I write my send_data function in order to send data to all my connected clients??

You need to avoid this pattern when writing software with Twisted:
while True:
# call `send_message` function and send data to the connected clients.
Twisted is a cooperative multitasking system. "Cooperative" means that you have to give up control of execution periodically so that other tasks get a chance to run.
twisted.internet.task.LoopingCall can be used to replace many while ... loops (particularly while True loops):
from twisted.internet.task import LoopingCall
LoopingCall(one_iteration).start(iteration_interval)
This will call one_iteration every iteration_interval seconds. In between, it will give up control of execution so other tasks can run.
Making one_iteration send a message to a client is just a matter of giving one_iteration a reference to that client (or those clients, if there are many).
This is a variation on the FAQ How do I make Input on One Connection Result in Output on Another.
If you have a ChatFactory with a dict containing all your clients, just pass that factory to one_iteration:
LoopingCall(one_iteration, that_factory)
or
LoopingCall(lambda: one_iteration(that_factory))

Twisted Python - IRC Client

first question here.
So for a club at school we are working on making a IRC client in Python and Twisted.
So I take the example bot that twisted gives you. I've managed to get it connected to a irc channel, and it logs.
I know I've probably gotta use 2 threads to have both reading from the server and input simultaneous, which I can achieve, but only if it command line input. Mind you it is still logging the data from the channel at the same time.
So to do this I used: d = threads.deferToThread(aSillyBlockingMethod)
Which calls my raw_input() loop.
My problem lies in not being able to figure out how to change this from just typing into and printing form the commandline; to being able to actually send messages to the irc server for other people to read.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am a novice python programmer and don't know too much web stuff; like protocols, ports, and stuff like that but I am slowly picking them up. If anyone knows of an easier way to do this let me know please I am not committed to using Twisted.
Here is my code, or rather the modified bot I'm tinkering with:

I know I've probably gotta use 2 threads to have both reading from the server and input simultaneous, which I can achieve, but only if it command line input. Mind you it is still logging the data from the channel at the same time.
Actually, it's not necessary to use two threads for this. A major strength of Twisted is doing I/O without using threads. The question and answer Michael linked to talk about Twisted's non-threaded support for interacting with standard input and standard output via twisted.internet.stdio.StandardIO.
My problem lies in not being able to figure out how to change this from just typing into and printing form the commandline; to being able to actually send messages to the irc server for other people to read.
IRCClient has a method for sending messages to the IRC server - the sample code you included in your question even uses this method already, IRCClient.msg. All you need to do is call it.
Your threaded code could change like this to do so (again, threads are unnecessary, but in the interest of just showing you how to send a message from your input handling code, I'll base this part of the answer on threads, to avoid other changes to the code which might make the answer harder to understand. You do not need threads to do this.):
def aSillyBlockingMethod(bot):
import time
while True:
msg = raw_input()
bot.threadSafeMsg("#bottest", msg)
class LogBot(irc.IRCClient):
"""A logging IRC bot."""
nickname = "twistedbot"
def connectionMade(self):
irc.IRCClient.connectionMade(self)
self.logger = MessageLogger(open(self.factory.filename, "a"))
self.logger.log("[connected at %s]" %
time.asctime(time.localtime(time.time())))
# The bot is now connected. Start reading input here.
# Pass a reference to this protocol instance, so that
# messages can be sent to this protocol instance.
deferToThread(aSillyBlockingMethod, self)
# Define a helper function for aSillyBlockingMethod to use.
# Since aSillyBlockingMethod runs in a thread, it cannot just call
# IRCClient.msg, since that method - like almost all methods in Twisted -
# is not thread-safe. Instead it must call this thread-safe wrapper.
def threadSafeMsg(self, channel, message):
reactor.callFromThread(self.msg, channel, message)
Notice that all that's happening here is that aSillyBlockingMethod is calling a method on LogBot. The thread-safe wrapper would not be necessary when using StandardIO, since that eliminates the need for threads.

Python twisted: Functions are not called properly?

I've got a problem with setting up a client which connects to a "distributor" server to send certain data.
The server's purpose is to get data from the client and then send that data to it's all connected clients. The server works without any issues.
The main client is also supposed to work as an IRC bot.
Here's a text example of how it should work like:
(IRC) John: Hello there!
1. The IRC client got the message, we need to send it to the distributor now.
2. Distributor should get this "John: Hello there!" string and send it back to it's all connected clients.
3. If other clients send data to the distributor, which this will broadcast to all clients, the IRC client should output at it's turn the received data to a specified channel
The following code is the IRC bot client (ircbot.py):
import sys

What am I doing wrong? How can I call the right function from the IRCbot class to make it send the data to the distributor server and data received from the distributor server to output in the specified channel via IRC?
Any suggestions and possible solutions are welcome.
If I missed any other details, please let me know.
Thank you for your time!

You should avoid writing blocking code like this:
def signedOn(self):
self.msg("NickServ", "id <password_removed>") # Identify the bot
time.sleep(0.1) # Wait a little...
self.join(self.factory.channel) # Join channel #chantest
print "Signed on as %s." % (self.nickname,)
For details, see Tail -f log on server, process data, then serve to client via twisted.
Apart from that, the main problem here is that you are trying to send data without having a connection. When you write something like:
EchoClient().sendData('IRC'+' '.join(map(str, [name, msg])))
you're creating a protocol instance which is responsible for handling a connection and then trying to use it, but you're not creating a connection. The attempt to send data fails because the protocol hasn't been attached to any transport.
Your snippet already demonstrates the correct way to create a connection, twice in fact:
IRC = BotFactory('#chantest')
reactor.connectTCP('irc.rizon.net', 6667, IRC) # Our IRC connection
f = EchoFactory()
reactor.connectTCP("localhost", 8000, f) # Connection to the Distributor server
The mistake is creating a new EchoClient instance, one with no connection. The reactor.connectTCP call creates a new connection and a new EchoClient instance and associates them with each other.
Instead of EchoClient().sendData(...), you want to use the EchoClient instance created by your factory:
def buildProtocol(self, addr):
print 'Connected to the Distributor'
return EchoClient()
Your buildProtocol implementation creates the instance, all that's missing is for it to save the instance so it can be used by your IRC bot.
Consider something like this:
def buildProtocol(self, addr):
print 'Connected to the Distributor'
self.connection = EchoClient()
return self.connection
Your IRC client can then use the saved EchoClient instance:
if channel == "#testchan" and name != "BotName":
f.connection.sendData('IRC:'+' '.join(map(str, [name, msg])))
# This should make the bot send chat data to the distributor server (NOT IRC server)
Note that the specific code I give here is a very crude approach. It uses the global variable f to find the EchoFactory instance. As with most global variable usage this makes the code a little hard to follow. Further, I haven't added any code to handle connectionLost events to clear the connection attribute out. This means you might think you're sending data to the distributed server when the connection has already been lost. And similarly, there's no guarantee that the connection to the distributed server will have been created by the time the IRC client first tries to use it, so you may have an AttributeError when it tries to use f.connection.sendData.
However, fixing these doesn't require much of a leap. Fix the global variable usage as you would any other - by passing arguments to functions, saving objects as references on other objects, etc. Fix the possible AttributeError by handling it, or by not creating the IRC connection until after you've created the distributed connection, etc. And handle lost connections by resetting the attribute value to None or some other sentinel, and paying attention to such a case in the IRC code before trying to use the distributed client connection to send any data.

TFM is never defined in your code, so I don't know what the deal is there.
The other error is that you're instantiating a client, but never connecting it to anything, as with reactor.connectTCP(...) or endpoint.connect(...). The transport attribute will be None until it's set by something.
(It would be helpful for you to come up with a simpler version of this code which is complete and doesn't include unnecessary details like all the printed log messages. It makes it harder to see what the real issues are.)

Any ideas please? :-)

Twisted FAQ:
How do I make input on one connection
result in output on another?
This seems like it's a Twisted
question, but actually it's a Python
question. Each Protocol object
represents one connection; you can
call its transport.write to write some
data to it. These are regular Python
objects; you can put them into lists,
dictionaries, or whatever other data
structure is appropriate to your
application.
As a simple example, add a list to
your factory, and in your protocol's
connectionMade and connectionLost, add
it to and remove it from that list.
Here's the Python code:
from twisted.internet.protocol import Protocol, Factory
from twisted.internet import reactor
class MultiEcho(Protocol):
def connectionMade(self):
self.factory.echoers.append(self)
def dataReceived(self, data):
for echoer in self.factory.echoers:
echoer.transport.write(data)
def connectionLost(self, reason):
self.factory.echoers.remove(self)
class MultiEchoFactory(Factory):
protocol = MultiEcho
def __init__(self):
self.echoers = []
reactor.listenTCP(4321, MultiEchoFactory())
reactor.run()
