Hello, I am confused about how the FingerService gets started in the finger/finger.py makeService function. It is never assigned a service parent and it can't service getUser requests if its startService method isn't called; you get an AttributeError: "no attribute 'users'" the way it works now. Is this a bug?
The most sensible thing, in this case, seems to be setting the FingerServiceparent to be the MultiService container that all of the interent services are added to in the makeService function. Is that correct? I'm wondering if their are any other strategies people use for starting non-internet services. For instance, if instead of reading a file to get to my user db, I might want to start a redis client and read from redis to service a getUser call. But that means I'd want to make sure the startService call succeeded (the redis connection was made) before one of the internet services tries to use the FingerService (a timing problem that doesn't exist when just reading a file)...or something. Maybe I'm really just wondering how the twisted application framework handles exceptions that occur for startService calls. Maybe I need something else to handle that kind of thing? I'm also wondering if it's ever a good idea to make a extension of ServerFactory (that adapts a Service) that calls Service.startService when Factory.startServer is called (and Service.stopService when Factory.stopFactory is called)? And I'm looking for more use cases/projects (beyond the finger tutorial) that really showcase the twisted application framework. Any references would be appreciated! Thanks! -Dorian
