I've been using multiprocessing managers and I really like the functionality.
I have a question about reconnecting to a manager. I have a situation where I start on one machine (A) a manager that is listening and then on another machine (B) connects to that manager and uses its proxy object to call functions on the manager's computer; this all works as expected. But, if the manager from A shuts down, B's application won't notice because in the MP code it ignores socket error errno.ECONNREFUSED. If A becomes available again or is restarted, B doesn't automatically reconnect either and continue its operation. It's function is basically stopped. Here is the code from connection.py: while 1: try: s.connect(address) except socket.error, e: if e.args[0] != errno.ECONNREFUSED: # connection refused debug('failed to connect to address %s', address) raise time.sleep(0.01) else: break How can I have B automatically reconnect to A and continue its work once A is available again? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
