msl.examples.loadlib.echo32 module

An example of a 32-bit echo server.

Example of a server that is executed by a 32-bit Python interpreter that receives requests from the corresponding echo64 module which can be run by a 64-bit Python interpreter.

Echo32 is the 32-bit server class and Echo64 is the 64-bit client class. These echo classes do not actually communicate with a shared library. The point of these echo classes is to show that a Python data type in a 64-bit process appears as the same data type in the 32-bit process and vice versa.

class msl.examples.loadlib.echo32.Echo32(host, port, **kwargs)

Bases: Server32

Example of a server class that illustrates that Python data types are preserved when they are sent from the Echo64 client to the server.

Parameters:

• host (str) – The IP address of the server.

• port (int) – The port to open on the server.

Note

Any class that is a subclass of Server32 MUST provide two arguments in its constructor: host and port (in that order) and **kwargs. Otherwise the server32 executable, see start_server32, cannot create an instance of the Server32 subclass.

received_data(*args, **kwargs)

Process a request from the send_data() method from the 64-bit client.

Parameters:

• *args – The arguments.

• **kwargs – The keyword arguments.

Returns:

tuple – The args and kwargs that were received.
