class pygrass.rpc.base.RPCServerBase[source]

Bases: object

This is the base class for send and receive RPC server It uses a Pipe for IPC.

>>> import grass.script as gscript
>>> from grass.pygrass.rpc.base import RPCServerBase
>>> import time
>>> provider = RPCServerBase()

>>> provider.is_server_alive()
True

>>> provider.is_check_thread_alive()
True

>>> provider.stop()
>>> time.sleep(1)
>>> provider.is_server_alive()
False

>>> provider.is_check_thread_alive()
False

>>> provider = RPCServerBase()
>>> provider.is_server_alive()
True
>>> provider.is_check_thread_alive()
True

Kill the server process with an exception, it should restart

>>> provider.client_conn.send([1])
>>> provider.is_server_alive()
True

>>> provider.is_check_thread_alive()
True
check_server()[source]
is_check_thread_alive()[source]
is_server_alive()[source]
safe_receive(message)[source]

Receive the data and throw a FatalError exception in case the server process was killed and the pipe was closed by the checker thread

start_checker_thread()[source]
start_server()[source]

This function must be re-implemented in the subclasses

stop()[source]

Stop the check thread, the libgis server and close the pipe

This method should be called at exit using the package atexit

stop_checker_thread()[source]
thread_checker()[source]

Check every 200 micro seconds if the server process is alive

pygrass.rpc.base.dummy_server(lock, conn)[source]

Dummy server process

Parameters

  • lock – A multiprocessing.Lock

  • conn – A multiprocessing.Pipe
