eventlet.green.zmq – ØMQ support

pyzmq [1] is a python binding to the C++ ØMQ [2] library written in Cython [3]. eventlet.green.zmq is greenthread aware version of pyzmq.

The zmq module wraps the Socket and Context found in pyzmq to be non blocking.

class eventlet.green.zmq.Context(io_threads: int = 1)
class eventlet.green.zmq.Context(io_threads: Context)
class eventlet.green.zmq.Context(*, shadow: Context | int)

Bases: Context

Subclass of zmq.Context

socket(socket_type)

Overridden method to ensure that the green version of socket is used

Behaves the same as zmq.Context.socket(), but ensures that a Socket with all of its send and recv methods set to be non-blocking is returned

class eventlet.green.zmq.Socket(context, socket_type)

Bases: Socket

Green version of :class:zmq.core.socket.Socket.

The following three methods are always overridden:
  • send

  • recv

  • getsockopt

To ensure that the zmq.NOBLOCK flag is set and that sending or receiving is deferred to the hub (using :func:eventlet.hubs.trampoline) if a zmq.EAGAIN (retry) error is raised.

For some socket types, the following methods are also overridden:
  • send_multipart

  • recv_multipart

recv(flags=0, copy=True, track=False)

Receive a message.

With flags=NOBLOCK, this raises ZMQError if no messages have arrived; otherwise, this waits until a message arrives. See Poller for more general non-blocking I/O.

Parameters

flagsint

0 or NOBLOCK.

copybool

Should the message be received in a copying or non-copying manner? If False a Frame object is returned, if True a string copy of message is returned.

trackbool

Should the message be tracked for notification that ZMQ has finished with it? (ignored if copy=True)

Returns

msgbytes or Frame

The received message frame. If copy is False, then it will be a Frame, otherwise it will be bytes.

Raises

ZMQError

for any of the reasons zmq_msg_recv might fail (including if NOBLOCK is set and no new messages have arrived).

send(msg, flags=0, copy=True, track=False)

Send a single zmq message frame on this socket.

This queues the message to be sent by the IO thread at a later time.

With flags=NOBLOCK, this raises ZMQError if the queue is full; otherwise, this waits until space is available. See Poller for more general non-blocking I/O.

Parameters

databytes, Frame, memoryview

The content of the message. This can be any object that provides the Python buffer API (i.e. memoryview(data) can be called).

flagsint

0, NOBLOCK, SNDMORE, or NOBLOCK|SNDMORE.

copybool

Should the message be sent in a copying or non-copying manner.

trackbool

Should the message be tracked for notification that ZMQ has finished with it? (ignored if copy=True)

routing_idint

For use with SERVER sockets

groupstr

For use with RADIO sockets

Returns

Noneif copy or not track

None if message was sent, raises an exception otherwise.

MessageTrackerif track and not copy

a MessageTracker object, whose done property will be False until the send is completed.

Raises

TypeError

If a unicode object is passed

ValueError

If track=True, but an untracked Frame is passed.

ZMQError

If the send does not succeed for any reason (including if NOBLOCK is set and the outgoing queue is full).

Changed in version 17.0: DRAFT support for routing_id and group arguments.

bind(addr)

Bind the socket to an address.

This causes the socket to listen on a network port. Sockets on the other side of this connection will use Socket.connect(addr) to connect to this socket.

Returns a context manager which will call unbind on exit.

Added in version 20.0: Can be used as a context manager.

Added in version 26.0: binding to port 0 can be used as a context manager for binding to a random port. The URL can be retrieved as socket.last_endpoint.

Parameters

addrstr

The address string. This has the form ‘protocol://interface:port’, for example ‘tcp://127.0.0.1:5555’. Protocols supported include tcp, udp, pgm, epgm, inproc and ipc. If the address is unicode, it is encoded to utf-8 first.

bind_to_random_port(addr: str, min_port: int = 49152, max_port: int = 65536, max_tries: int = 100) int

Bind this socket to a random port in a range.

If the port range is unspecified, the system will choose the port.

Parameters

addrstr

The address string without the port to pass to Socket.bind().

min_portint, optional

The minimum port in the range of ports to try (inclusive).

max_portint, optional

The maximum port in the range of ports to try (exclusive).

max_triesint, optional

The maximum number of bind attempts to make.

Returns

portint

The port the socket was bound to.

Raises

ZMQBindError

if max_tries reached before successful bind

close(linger=None)

Close the socket.

If linger is specified, LINGER sockopt will be set prior to closing.

Note: closing a zmq Socket may not close the underlying sockets if there are undelivered messages. Only after all messages are delivered or discarded by reaching the socket’s LINGER timeout (default: forever) will the underlying sockets be closed.

This can be called to close the socket by hand. If this is not called, the socket will automatically be closed when it is garbage collected, in which case you may see a ResourceWarning about the unclosed socket.

closed

Whether the socket is closed

connect(addr)

Connect to a remote 0MQ socket.

Returns a context manager which will call disconnect on exit.

Added in version 20.0: Can be used as a context manager.

Parameters

addrstr

The address string. This has the form ‘protocol://interface:port’, for example ‘tcp://127.0.0.1:5555’. Protocols supported are tcp, udp, pgm, inproc and ipc. If the address is unicode, it is encoded to utf-8 first.

disable_monitor() None

Shutdown the PAIR socket (created using get_monitor_socket) that is serving socket events.

Added in version 14.4.

disconnect(addr)

Added in version 13.0.

Parameters

The address string. This has the form ‘protocol://interface:port’, for example ‘tcp://127.0.0.1:5555’. Protocols supported are tcp, udp, pgm, inproc and ipc. If the address is unicode, it is encoded to utf-8 first.

fileno() int

Return edge-triggered file descriptor for this socket.

This is a read-only edge-triggered file descriptor for both read and write events on this socket. It is important that all available events be consumed when an event is detected, otherwise the read event will not trigger again.

Added in version 17.0.
