Known subclasses: twisted.test.test_tcp.ClientStartStopFactory

Client factory which creates AccumulatingProtocol instances.

Method __init__ Undocumented
Method clientConnectionFailed Called when a connection has failed to connect.
Method clientConnectionLost Called when an established connection is lost.
Method stopFactory This will be called before I stop listening on all Ports/Connectors.

Inherited from MyProtocolFactoryMixin:

Instance Variable protocolFactory Factory for protocols - takes the place of the typical protocol attribute of factories (but that name is used by this class for something else). (type: no-argument callable)
Instance Variable protocolConnectionMade When an instance of AccumulatingProtocol is connected, if this is not None, the Deferred will be called back with the protocol instance and the attribute set to None. (type: None or defer.Deferred)
Instance Variable protocolConnectionLost When an instance of AccumulatingProtocol is created, this will be set as its closedDeferred attribute and then this attribute will be set to None so the defer.Deferred is not used by more than one protocol. (type: None or defer.Deferred)
Instance Variable protocol The most recently created AccumulatingProtocol instance which was returned from buildProtocol.
Instance Variable called A counter which is incremented each time buildProtocol is called. (type: int)
Instance Variable peerAddresses A list of the addresses passed to buildProtocol.
Method buildProtocol Create a AccumulatingProtocol and set it up to be able to perform callbacks.

Inherited from ClientFactory:

Method startedConnecting Called when a connection has been started.

Inherited from Factory (via ClientFactory):

Class Method forProtocol Create a factory for the given protocol.
Method logPrefix Describe this factory for log messages.
Method doStart Make sure startFactory is called.
Method doStop Make sure stopFactory is called.
Method startFactory This will be called before I begin listening on a Port or Connector.
Method buildProtocol Create an instance of a subclass of Protocol.
def clientConnectionFailed(self, connector, reason):

Called when a connection has failed to connect.

It may be useful to call connector.connect() - this will reconnect.

def clientConnectionLost(self, connector, reason):

Called when an established connection is lost.

It may be useful to call connector.connect() - this will reconnect.

def stopFactory(self):

This will be called before I stop listening on all Ports/Connectors.

This can be overridden to perform 'shutdown' tasks such as disconnecting database connections, closing files, etc.

It will be called, for example, before an application shuts down, if it was connected to a port. User code should not call this function directly.
