I have problems in getting a SocketServer to shutdown.
Shutdown implies closing the listening socket, doesn't it?
No (perhaps it should, but that is another issue). There is a
documentation bug; BaseServer.shutdown is documented as "Tells the
serve_forever() loop to stop and waits until it does." [1]
The docstring is much more explicit: """Stops the serve_forever loop.
Blocks until the loop has finished. This must be called while
serve_forever() is running in another thread, or it will deadlock."""
So, if you have a single-threaded server, *don't* use shutdown(). And,
to orderly close the listening socket, use server_close() instead. Your
Hmm. Gabriel, could you please show the same for the threaded version?
This one deadlocks:
[code removed]
The shutdown method should *only* be called while serve_forever is
running. If called after server_forever exited, shutdown() blocks forever.
<code>
from SocketServer import TCPServer, BaseRequestHandler
from threading import Thread
server = TCPServer(('localhost',1234), BaseRequestHandler)
run_thread = Thread(target=server.serve_forever)
run_thread.start()
try:
print "press ^C to exit"
import time; time.sleep(30)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
print "^C detected"
pass
server.shutdown()
run_thread.join()
print "bye"
</code>
But, what are you after, exactly? I think I'd use the above code only in a
GUI application with a background server.
There are other alternatives, like asyncore or Twisted.
