SAMPHubServer¶

class astropy.samp.SAMPHubServer(secret=None, addr=None, port=0, lockfile=None, timeout=0, client_timeout=0, mode='single', label='', web_profile=True, web_profile_dialog=None, web_port=21012, pool_size=20)[source]¶

Bases: object

SAMP Hub Server.

Parameters:

secret : str, optional: The secret code to use for the SAMP lockfile. If none is is specified, the uuid.uuid1() function is used to generate one.
addr : str, optional: Listening address (or IP). This defaults to 127.0.0.1 if the internet is not reachable, otherwise it defaults to the host name.
port : int, optional: Listening XML-RPC server socket port. If left set to 0 (the default), the operating system will select a free port.
lockfile : str, optional: Custom lockfile name.
timeout : int, optional: Hub inactivity timeout. If timeout > 0 then the Hub automatically stops after an inactivity period longer than timeout seconds. By default timeout is set to 0 (Hub never expires).
client_timeout : int, optional: Client inactivity timeout. If client_timeout > 0 then the Hub automatically unregisters the clients which result inactive for a period longer than client_timeout seconds. By default client_timeout is set to 0 (clients never expire).
mode : str, optional: Defines the Hub running mode. If mode is 'single' then the Hub runs using the standard .samp lock-file, having a single instance for user desktop session. Otherwise, if mode is 'multiple', then the Hub runs using a non-standard lock-file, placed in .samp-1 directory, of the form samp-hub-<UUID>, where <UUID> is a unique UUID assigned to the hub.
label : str, optional: A string used to label the Hub with a human readable name. This string is written in the lock-file assigned to the hub.label token.
web_profile : bool, optional: Enables or disables the Web Profile support.
web_profile_dialog : class, optional: Allows a class instance to be specified using web_profile_dialog to replace the terminal-based message with e.g. a GUI pop-up. Two queue.Queue instances will be added to the instance as attributes queue_request and queue_result. When a request is received via the queue_request queue, the pop-up should be displayed, and a value of True or False should be added to queue_result depending on whether the user accepted or refused the connection.
web_port : int, optional: The port to use for web SAMP. This should not be changed except for testing purposes, since web SAMP should always use port 21012.
pool_size : int, optional: The number of socket connections opened to communicate with the clients.

Attributes Summary

`id`	The unique hub ID.
`is_running`	Return an information concerning the Hub running status.
`params`	The hub parameters (which are written to the logfile)

Methods Summary

`get_mtype_subtypes`(mtype)	Return a list containing all the possible wildcarded subtypes of MType.
`start`([wait])	Start the current SAMP Hub instance and create the lock file.
`stop`()	Stop the current SAMP Hub instance and delete the lock file.

Attributes Documentation

id¶: The unique hub ID.

is_running¶

Return an information concerning the Hub running status.

Returns:	running : bool Is the hub running?

params¶: The hub parameters (which are written to the logfile)

Methods Documentation

static get_mtype_subtypes(mtype)[source]¶

Return a list containing all the possible wildcarded subtypes of MType.

Parameters:	mtype : str MType to be parsed.
Returns:	types : list List of subtypes

Examples

>>> from astropy.samp import SAMPHubServer
>>> SAMPHubServer.get_mtype_subtypes("samp.app.ping")
['samp.app.ping', 'samp.app.*', 'samp.*', '*']

start(wait=False)[source]¶

Start the current SAMP Hub instance and create the lock file. Hub start-up can be blocking or non blocking depending on the wait parameter.

Parameters:	wait : bool If `True` then the Hub process is joined with the caller, blocking the code flow. Usually `True` option is used to run a stand-alone Hub in an executable script. If `False` (default), then the Hub process runs in a separated thread. `False` is usually used in a Python shell.

stop()[source]¶: Stop the current SAMP Hub instance and delete the lock file.
