Hi,

I just recently got aware of twisted and im currently playing around with it. Is there any way to make reactor.listen listen on stdio instead of a real network connection?

In one of the examples (sshsimpleserver.py) reactor.listenTCP is used to listen on the network socket, as far as i can read from the twisted core documentation there are no builtin way to make reactor.listen* listen on stdin instead... Any hints?

Take look at twisted.internet.stdio.StandardIO.

I'm new to this twisted stuff, so no doubt I've gotten this a bit wrong... but:

But, the act of listening is primarily about waiting for a new connection etc.; since standard io is already connected it doesn't quite make sense to listen for it.

When a listener L awakens for a new connection it cobbles together the plumbing necessary to manage the connection. That plumbing will invoke the methods of an object C responsible for handling the connection. The listener L creates the object P, one for each connection, by via the factory object F it was given when L was created. It is the responsibility of C to implement protocol appropriate to the connection.

What twisted.internet.stdio.StandardIO provides is a very simple protocol for standard IO.
