Transports and protocols (callback based API)

**Source code:** :source:`Lib/asyncio/transports.py`

**Source code:** :source:`Lib/asyncio/protocols.py`

.. _asyncio-transport:

Transports
==========

Transports are classes provided by :mod:`asyncio` in order to abstract
various kinds of communication channels.  You generally won't instantiate
a transport yourself; instead, you will call an :class:`AbstractEventLoop` method
which will create the transport and try to initiate the underlying
communication channel, calling you back when it succeeds.

Once the communication channel is established, a transport is always
paired with a :ref:`protocol <asyncio-protocol>` instance.  The protocol can
then call the transport's methods for various purposes.

:mod:`asyncio` currently implements transports for TCP, UDP, SSL, and
subprocess pipes.  The methods available on a transport depend on
the transport's kind.

The transport classes are :ref:`not thread safe <asyncio-multithreading>`.

.. versionchanged:: 3.6
   The socket option ``TCP_NODELAY`` is now set by default.

BaseTransport
-------------

.. class:: BaseTransport

Base class for transports.

.. method:: close()

Close the transport.  If the transport has a buffer for outgoing
      data, buffered data will be flushed asynchronously.  No more data
      will be received.  After all buffered data is flushed, the
      protocol's :meth:`connection_lost` method will be called with
      :const:`None` as its argument.

.. method:: is_closing()

Return ``True`` if the transport is closing or is closed.

.. versionadded:: 3.5.1

.. method:: get_extra_info(name, default=None)

Return optional transport information.  *name* is a string representing
      the piece of transport-specific information to get, *default* is the
      value to return if the information doesn't exist.

This method allows transport implementations to easily expose
      channel-specific information.

* socket:

- ``'peername'``: the remote address to which the socket is connected,
          result of :meth:`socket.socket.getpeername` (``None`` on error)
        - ``'socket'``: :class:`socket.socket` instance
        - ``'sockname'``: the socket's own address,
          result of :meth:`socket.socket.getsockname`

* SSL socket:

- ``'compression'``: the compression algorithm being used as a string,
          or ``None`` if the connection isn't compressed; result of
          :meth:`ssl.SSLSocket.compression`
        - ``'cipher'``: a three-value tuple containing the name of the cipher
          being used, the version of the SSL protocol that defines its use, and
          the number of secret bits being used; result of
          :meth:`ssl.SSLSocket.cipher`
        - ``'peercert'``: peer certificate; result of
          :meth:`ssl.SSLSocket.getpeercert`
        - ``'sslcontext'``: :class:`ssl.SSLContext` instance
        - ``'ssl_object'``: :class:`ssl.SSLObject` or :class:`ssl.SSLSocket`
          instance

* pipe:

- ``'pipe'``: pipe object

* subprocess:

- ``'subprocess'``: :class:`subprocess.Popen` instance

.. method:: set_protocol(protocol)

Set a new protocol.  Switching protocol should only be done when both
      protocols are documented to support the switch.

.. versionadded:: 3.5.3

.. method:: get_protocol

Return the current protocol.

.. versionadded:: 3.5.3

.. versionchanged:: 3.5.1
      ``'ssl_object'`` info was added to SSL sockets.

ReadTransport
-------------

.. class:: ReadTransport

Interface for read-only transports.

.. method:: pause_reading()

Pause the receiving end of the transport.  No data will be passed to
      the protocol's :meth:`data_received` method until :meth:`resume_reading`
      is called.

.. versionchanged:: 3.6.7
         The method is idempotent, i.e. it can be called when the
         transport is already paused or closed.

.. method:: resume_reading()

Resume the receiving end.  The protocol's :meth:`data_received` method
      will be called once again if some data is available for reading.

.. versionchanged:: 3.6.7
         The method is idempotent, i.e. it can be called when the
         transport is already reading.

WriteTransport
--------------

.. class:: WriteTransport

Interface for write-only transports.

.. method:: abort()

Close the transport immediately, without waiting for pending operations
      to complete.  Buffered data will be lost.  No more data will be received.
      The protocol's :meth:`connection_lost` method will eventually be
      called with :const:`None` as its argument.

.. method:: can_write_eof()

Return :const:`True` if the transport supports :meth:`write_eof`,
      :const:`False` if not.

.. method:: get_write_buffer_size()

Return the current size of the output buffer used by the transport.

.. method:: get_write_buffer_limits()

Get the *high*- and *low*-water limits for write flow control. Return a
      tuple ``(low, high)`` where *low* and *high* are positive number of
      bytes.

Use :meth:`set_write_buffer_limits` to set the limits.

.. versionadded:: 3.4.2

.. method:: set_write_buffer_limits(high=None, low=None)

Set the *high*- and *low*-water limits for write flow control.

These two values (measured in number of
      bytes) control when the protocol's
      :meth:`pause_writing` and :meth:`resume_writing` methods are called.
      If specified, the low-water limit must be less than or equal to the
      high-water limit.  Neither *high* nor *low* can be negative.

:meth:`pause_writing` is called when the buffer size becomes greater
      than or equal to the *high* value. If writing has been paused,
      :meth:`resume_writing` is called when the buffer size becomes less
      than or equal to the *low* value.

The defaults are implementation-specific.  If only the
      high-water limit is given, the low-water limit defaults to an
      implementation-specific value less than or equal to the
      high-water limit.  Setting *high* to zero forces *low* to zero as
      well, and causes :meth:`pause_writing` to be called whenever the
      buffer becomes non-empty.  Setting *low* to zero causes
      :meth:`resume_writing` to be called only once the buffer is empty.
      Use of zero for either limit is generally sub-optimal as it
      reduces opportunities for doing I/O and computation
      concurrently.

Use :meth:`get_write_buffer_limits` to get the limits.

.. method:: write(data)

Write some *data* bytes to the transport.

This method does not block; it buffers the data and arranges for it
      to be sent out asynchronously.

.. method:: writelines(list_of_data)

Write a list (or any iterable) of data bytes to the transport.
      This is functionally equivalent to calling :meth:`write` on each
      element yielded by the iterable, but may be implemented more efficiently.

.. method:: write_eof()

Close the write end of the transport after flushing buffered data.
      Data may still be received.

This method can raise :exc:`NotImplementedError` if the transport
      (e.g. SSL) doesn't support half-closes.

DatagramTransport
-----------------

.. method:: DatagramTransport.sendto(data, addr=None)

Send the *data* bytes to the remote peer given by *addr* (a
   transport-dependent target address).  If *addr* is :const:`None`, the
   data is sent to the target address given on transport creation.

This method does not block; it buffers the data and arranges for it
   to be sent out asynchronously.

.. method:: DatagramTransport.abort()

Close the transport immediately, without waiting for pending operations
   to complete.  Buffered data will be lost.  No more data will be received.
   The protocol's :meth:`connection_lost` method will eventually be
   called with :const:`None` as its argument.

BaseSubprocessTransport
-----------------------

.. class:: BaseSubprocessTransport

.. method:: get_pid()

Return the subprocess process id as an integer.

.. method:: get_pipe_transport(fd)

Return the transport for the communication pipe corresponding to the
      integer file descriptor *fd*:

* ``0``: readable streaming transport of the standard input (*stdin*),
        or :const:`None` if the subprocess was not created with ``stdin=PIPE``
      * ``1``: writable streaming transport of the standard output (*stdout*),
        or :const:`None` if the subprocess was not created with ``stdout=PIPE``
      * ``2``: writable streaming transport of the standard error (*stderr*),
        or :const:`None` if the subprocess was not created with ``stderr=PIPE``
      * other *fd*: :const:`None`

.. method:: get_returncode()

Return the subprocess returncode as an integer or :const:`None`
      if it hasn't returned, similarly to the
      :attr:`subprocess.Popen.returncode` attribute.

.. method:: kill()

Kill the subprocess, as in :meth:`subprocess.Popen.kill`.

On POSIX systems, the function sends SIGKILL to the subprocess.
      On Windows, this method is an alias for :meth:`terminate`.

.. method:: send_signal(signal)

Send the *signal* number to the subprocess, as in
      :meth:`subprocess.Popen.send_signal`.

.. method:: terminate()

Ask the subprocess to stop, as in :meth:`subprocess.Popen.terminate`.
      This method is an alias for the :meth:`close` method.

On POSIX systems, this method sends SIGTERM to the subprocess.
      On Windows, the Windows API function TerminateProcess() is called to
      stop the subprocess.

.. method:: close()

Ask the subprocess to stop by calling the :meth:`terminate` method if the
      subprocess hasn't returned yet, and close transports of all pipes
      (*stdin*, *stdout* and *stderr*).

.. _asyncio-protocol:

Protocols
=========

:mod:`asyncio` provides base classes that you can subclass to implement
your network protocols.  Those classes are used in conjunction with
:ref:`transports <asyncio-transport>` (see below): the protocol parses incoming
data and asks for the writing of outgoing data, while the transport is
responsible for the actual I/O and buffering.

When subclassing a protocol class, it is recommended you override certain
methods.  Those methods are callbacks: they will be called by the transport
on certain events (for example when some data is received); you shouldn't
call them yourself, unless you are implementing a transport.

.. note::
   All callbacks have default implementations, which are empty.  Therefore,
   you only need to implement the callbacks for the events in which you
   are interested.

Protocol classes
----------------

.. class:: Protocol

The base class for implementing streaming protocols (for use with
   e.g. TCP and SSL transports).

.. class:: DatagramProtocol

The base class for implementing datagram protocols (for use with
   e.g. UDP transports).

.. class:: SubprocessProtocol

The base class for implementing protocols communicating with child
   processes (through a set of unidirectional pipes).

Connection callbacks
--------------------

These callbacks may be called on :class:`Protocol`, :class:`DatagramProtocol`
and :class:`SubprocessProtocol` instances:

.. method:: BaseProtocol.connection_made(transport)

Called when a connection is made.

The *transport* argument is the transport representing the
   connection.  You are responsible for storing it somewhere
   (e.g. as an attribute) if you need to.

.. method:: BaseProtocol.connection_lost(exc)

Called when the connection is lost or closed.

The argument is either an exception object or :const:`None`.
   The latter means a regular EOF is received, or the connection was
   aborted or closed by this side of the connection.

:meth:`~BaseProtocol.connection_made` and :meth:`~BaseProtocol.connection_lost`
are called exactly once per successful connection.  All other callbacks will be
called between those two methods, which allows for easier resource management
in your protocol implementation.

The following callbacks may be called only on :class:`SubprocessProtocol`
instances:

.. method:: SubprocessProtocol.pipe_data_received(fd, data)

Called when the child process writes data into its stdout or stderr pipe.
   *fd* is the integer file descriptor of the pipe.  *data* is a non-empty
   bytes object containing the data.

.. method:: SubprocessProtocol.pipe_connection_lost(fd, exc)

Called when one of the pipes communicating with the child process
   is closed.  *fd* is the integer file descriptor that was closed.

.. method:: SubprocessProtocol.process_exited()

Called when the child process has exited.

Streaming protocols
-------------------

The following callbacks are called on :class:`Protocol` instances:

.. method:: Protocol.data_received(data)

Called when some data is received.  *data* is a non-empty bytes object
   containing the incoming data.

.. note::
      Whether the data is buffered, chunked or reassembled depends on
      the transport.  In general, you shouldn't rely on specific semantics
      and instead make your parsing generic and flexible enough.  However,
      data is always received in the correct order.

.. method:: Protocol.eof_received()

Called when the other end signals it won't send any more data
   (for example by calling :meth:`write_eof`, if the other end also uses
   asyncio).

This method may return a false value (including ``None``), in which case
   the transport will close itself.  Conversely, if this method returns a
   true value, closing the transport is up to the protocol.  Since the
   default implementation returns ``None``, it implicitly closes the connection.

.. note::
      Some transports such as SSL don't support half-closed connections,
      in which case returning true from this method will not prevent closing
      the connection.

:meth:`data_received` can be called an arbitrary number of times during
a connection.  However, :meth:`eof_received` is called at most once
and, if called, :meth:`data_received` won't be called after it.

State machine:

start -> :meth:`~BaseProtocol.connection_made`
    [-> :meth:`~Protocol.data_received` \*]
    [-> :meth:`~Protocol.eof_received` ?]
    -> :meth:`~BaseProtocol.connection_lost` -> end

Datagram protocols
------------------

The following callbacks are called on :class:`DatagramProtocol` instances.

.. method:: DatagramProtocol.datagram_received(data, addr)

Called when a datagram is received.  *data* is a bytes object containing
   the incoming data.  *addr* is the address of the peer sending the data;
   the exact format depends on the transport.

.. method:: DatagramProtocol.error_received(exc)

Called when a previous send or receive operation raises an
   :class:`OSError`.  *exc* is the :class:`OSError` instance.

This method is called in rare conditions, when the transport (e.g. UDP)
   detects that a datagram couldn't be delivered to its recipient.
   In many conditions though, undeliverable datagrams will be silently
   dropped.

Flow control callbacks
----------------------

These callbacks may be called on :class:`Protocol`,
:class:`DatagramProtocol` and :class:`SubprocessProtocol` instances:

.. method:: BaseProtocol.pause_writing()

Called when the transport's buffer goes over the high-water mark.

.. method:: BaseProtocol.resume_writing()

Called when the transport's buffer drains below the low-water mark.

:meth:`pause_writing` and :meth:`resume_writing` calls are paired --
:meth:`pause_writing` is called once when the buffer goes strictly over
the high-water mark (even if subsequent writes increases the buffer size
even more), and eventually :meth:`resume_writing` is called once when the
buffer size reaches the low-water mark.

.. note::
   If the buffer size equals the high-water mark,
   :meth:`pause_writing` is not called -- it must go strictly over.
   Conversely, :meth:`resume_writing` is called when the buffer size is
   equal or lower than the low-water mark.  These end conditions
   are important to ensure that things go as expected when either
   mark is zero.

.. note::
   On BSD systems (OS X, FreeBSD, etc.) flow control is not supported
   for :class:`DatagramProtocol`, because send failures caused by
   writing too many packets cannot be detected easily.  The socket
   always appears 'ready' and excess packets are dropped; an
   :class:`OSError` with errno set to :const:`errno.ENOBUFS` may or
   may not be raised; if it is raised, it will be reported to
   :meth:`DatagramProtocol.error_received` but otherwise ignored.

Coroutines and protocols
------------------------

Coroutines can be scheduled in a protocol method using :func:`ensure_future`,
but there is no guarantee made about the execution order.  Protocols are not
aware of coroutines created in protocol methods and so will not wait for them.

To have a reliable execution order, use :ref:`stream objects <asyncio-streams>` in a
coroutine with ``yield from``. For example, the :meth:`StreamWriter.drain`
coroutine can be used to wait until the write buffer is flushed.

Protocol examples
=================

.. _asyncio-tcp-echo-client-protocol:

TCP echo client protocol
------------------------

TCP echo client  using the :meth:`AbstractEventLoop.create_connection` method, send
data and wait until the connection is closed::

import asyncio

class EchoClientProtocol(asyncio.Protocol):
        def __init__(self, message, loop):
            self.message = message
            self.loop = loop

def connection_made(self, transport):
            transport.write(self.message.encode())
            print('Data sent: {!r}'.format(self.message))

def data_received(self, data):
            print('Data received: {!r}'.format(data.decode()))

def connection_lost(self, exc):
            print('The server closed the connection')
            print('Stop the event loop')
            self.loop.stop()

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    message = 'Hello World!'
    coro = loop.create_connection(lambda: EchoClientProtocol(message, loop),
                                  '127.0.0.1', 8888)
    loop.run_until_complete(coro)
    loop.run_forever()
    loop.close()

The event loop is running twice. The
:meth:`~AbstractEventLoop.run_until_complete` method is preferred in this short
example to raise an exception if the server is not listening, instead of
having to write a short coroutine to handle the exception and stop the
running loop. At :meth:`~AbstractEventLoop.run_until_complete` exit, the loop is
no longer running, so there is no need to stop the loop in case of an error.

.. seealso::

The :ref:`TCP echo client using streams <asyncio-tcp-echo-client-streams>`
   example uses the :func:`asyncio.open_connection` function.

.. _asyncio-tcp-echo-server-protocol:

TCP echo server protocol
------------------------

TCP echo server using the :meth:`AbstractEventLoop.create_server` method, send back
received data and close the connection::

import asyncio

class EchoServerClientProtocol(asyncio.Protocol):
        def connection_made(self, transport):
            peername = transport.get_extra_info('peername')
            print('Connection from {}'.format(peername))
            self.transport = transport

def data_received(self, data):
            message = data.decode()
            print('Data received: {!r}'.format(message))

print('Send: {!r}'.format(message))
            self.transport.write(data)

print('Close the client socket')
            self.transport.close()

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    # Each client connection will create a new protocol instance
    coro = loop.create_server(EchoServerClientProtocol, '127.0.0.1', 8888)
    server = loop.run_until_complete(coro)

# Serve requests until Ctrl+C is pressed
    print('Serving on {}'.format(server.sockets[0].getsockname()))
    try:
        loop.run_forever()
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        pass

# Close the server
    server.close()
    loop.run_until_complete(server.wait_closed())
    loop.close()

:meth:`Transport.close` can be called immediately after
:meth:`WriteTransport.write` even if data are not sent yet on the socket: both
methods are asynchronous. ``yield from`` is not needed because these transport
methods are not coroutines.

.. seealso::

The :ref:`TCP echo server using streams <asyncio-tcp-echo-server-streams>`
   example uses the :func:`asyncio.start_server` function.

.. _asyncio-udp-echo-client-protocol:

UDP echo client protocol
------------------------

UDP echo client using the :meth:`AbstractEventLoop.create_datagram_endpoint`
method, send data and close the transport when we received the answer::

import asyncio

class EchoClientProtocol:
        def __init__(self, message, loop):
            self.message = message
            self.loop = loop
            self.transport = None

def connection_made(self, transport):
            self.transport = transport
            print('Send:', self.message)
            self.transport.sendto(self.message.encode())

def datagram_received(self, data, addr):
            print("Received:", data.decode())

print("Close the socket")
            self.transport.close()

def error_received(self, exc):
            print('Error received:', exc)

def connection_lost(self, exc):
            print("Socket closed, stop the event loop")
            loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
            loop.stop()

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    message = "Hello World!"
    connect = loop.create_datagram_endpoint(
        lambda: EchoClientProtocol(message, loop),
        remote_addr=('127.0.0.1', 9999))
    transport, protocol = loop.run_until_complete(connect)
    loop.run_forever()
    transport.close()
    loop.close()

.. _asyncio-udp-echo-server-protocol:

UDP echo server protocol
------------------------

UDP echo server using the :meth:`AbstractEventLoop.create_datagram_endpoint`
method, send back received data::

import asyncio

class EchoServerProtocol:
        def connection_made(self, transport):
            self.transport = transport

def datagram_received(self, data, addr):
            message = data.decode()
            print('Received %r from %s' % (message, addr))
            print('Send %r to %s' % (message, addr))
            self.transport.sendto(data, addr)

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    print("Starting UDP server")
    # One protocol instance will be created to serve all client requests
    listen = loop.create_datagram_endpoint(
        EchoServerProtocol, local_addr=('127.0.0.1', 9999))
    transport, protocol = loop.run_until_complete(listen)

try:
        loop.run_forever()
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        pass

transport.close()
    loop.close()

.. _asyncio-register-socket:

Wait until a socket receives data using the
:meth:`AbstractEventLoop.create_connection` method with a protocol, and then close
the event loop ::

import asyncio
    try:
        from socket import socketpair
    except ImportError:
        from asyncio.windows_utils import socketpair

# Create a pair of connected sockets
    rsock, wsock = socketpair()
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()

class MyProtocol(asyncio.Protocol):
        transport = None

def connection_made(self, transport):
            self.transport = transport

def data_received(self, data):
            print("Received:", data.decode())

# We are done: close the transport (it will call connection_lost())
            self.transport.close()

def connection_lost(self, exc):
            # The socket has been closed, stop the event loop
            loop.stop()

# Register the socket to wait for data
    connect_coro = loop.create_connection(MyProtocol, sock=rsock)
    transport, protocol = loop.run_until_complete(connect_coro)

# Simulate the reception of data from the network
    loop.call_soon(wsock.send, 'abc'.encode())

# Run the event loop
    loop.run_forever()

# We are done, close sockets and the event loop
    rsock.close()
    wsock.close()
    loop.close()

.. seealso::

The :ref:`watch a file descriptor for read events
   <asyncio-watch-read-event>` example uses the low-level
   :meth:`AbstractEventLoop.add_reader` method to register the file descriptor of a
   socket.

The :ref:`register an open socket to wait for data using streams
   <asyncio-register-socket-streams>` example uses high-level streams
   created by the :func:`open_connection` function in a coroutine.
