Bases: AxonHandlerMixin, StreamHandler

async data_received(chunk)[source]

Implement this method to handle streamed request data.

Requires the .stream_request_body decorator.

May be a coroutine for flow control.

on_connection_close()[source]

Called in async handlers if the client closed the connection.

Override this to clean up resources associated with long-lived connections. Note that this method is called only if the connection was closed during asynchronous processing; if you need to do cleanup after every request override on_finish instead.

Proxies may keep a connection open for a time (perhaps indefinitely) after the client has gone away, so this method may not be called promptly after the end user closes their connection.

on_finish()[source]

Called after the end of a request.

Override this method to perform cleanup, logging, etc. This method is a counterpart to prepare. on_finish may not produce any output, as it is called after the response has been sent to the client.

async post()[source]

Called after all data has been read.

async prepare()[source]

Called at the beginning of a request before get/post/etc.

Override this method to perform common initialization regardless of the request method.

Asynchronous support: Use async def or decorate this method with .gen.coroutine to make it asynchronous. If this method returns an Awaitable execution will not proceed until the Awaitable is done.

New in version 3.1: Asynchronous support.

synapse.common.isbuidhex(text)[source]
synapse.common.isguid(text)[source]
synapse.common.iterfd(fd, size=10000000)[source]

Generator which yields bytes from a file descriptor.

Parameters:

  • fd (file) – A file-like object to read bytes from.

  • size (int) – Size, in bytes, of the number of bytes to read from the

  • time. (fd at a given) –

Notes

If the first read call on the file descriptor is a empty bytestring, that zero length bytestring will be yielded and the generator will then be exhuasted. This behavior is intended to allow the yielding of contents of a zero byte file.

Yields:

bytes – Bytes from the file descriptor.

synapse.common.iterzip(*args, fillvalue=None)[source]
synapse.common.jslines(*paths)[source]
synapse.common.jsload(*paths)[source]
synapse.common.jsonsafe_nodeedits(nodeedits)[source]

synapse.common.jssave(js, *paths)[source]
synapse.common.listdir(*paths, glob=None)[source]

List the (optionally glob filtered) full paths from a dir.

Parameters:

  • *paths ([str,...]) – A list of path elements

  • glob (str) – An optional fnmatch glob str

synapse.common.lockfile(path)[source]

A file lock with-block helper.

Parameters:

path (str) – A path to a lock file.

Examples

Get the lock on a file and dostuff while having the lock:

path = '/hehe/haha.lock'
with lockfile(path):
    dostuff()

Notes

This is curently based on fcntl.lockf(), and as such, it is purely advisory locking. If multiple processes are attempting to obtain a lock on the same file, this will block until the process which has the current lock releases it.

Yields:

None

synapse.common.makedirs(path, mode=511)[source]
async synapse.common.merggenr(genrs, cmprkey)[source]

Iterate multiple sorted async generators and yield their results in order.

Parameters:

  • genrs (Sequence[AsyncGenerator[T]]) – a sequence of async generator that each yield sorted items

  • cmprkey (Callable[T, T, bool]) – a comparison function over the items yielded

Note

If the genrs yield increasing items, cmprkey should return True if the first parameter is less than the second parameter, e.g lambda x, y: x < y.

async synapse.common.merggenr2(genrs, cmprkey=None, reverse=False)[source]

Optimized version of merggenr based on heapq.merge

synapse.common.normLogLevel(valu)[source]

Parameters:

valu – The value to norm ( a string or integer ).

Returns:

A valid Logging log level.

Return type:

int

synapse.common.now()[source]

Get the current epoch time in milliseconds.

This relies on time.time(), which is system-dependent in terms of resolution.

Examples

Get the current time and make a row for a Cortex:

tick = now()
row = (someiden, 'foo:prop', 1, tick)
core.addRows([row])
Returns:

Epoch time in milliseconds.

Return type:

int

synapse.common.reqJsonSafeStrict(item)[source]

item – The python primitive to check.

Returns:

None

Raises:

s_exc.BadArg – If the item contains invalid data.

synapse.common.reqbytes(*paths)[source]

Parameters:

*paths ([str,...]) – A list of path elements

synapse.common.reqfile(*paths, **opts)[source]

Return a file at the path resulting from joining of the arguments, raising an exception if the file does not exist.

Parameters:

  • *paths ([str,...]) – A list of path elements

  • **opts – arguments as kwargs to io.open

Returns:

A file-object which can be read/written too.

Return type:

Notes

This generator is exhausted via the collections.dequeue() constructor with a maxlen=0, which will quickly exhaust an iterator staying in C code as much as possible.

Returns:

None
