[zeromq-dev] Check if forwarder is running

[Cornelius Toole]

I forked and edited the gist with my changes and comments. I'm not really sure what's wrong, but you may be having a scope problem: https://gist.github.com/2138347 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/423379/using-global-variables-in-a-function-other-than-the-one-that-created-them


incoming, outgoing and context are visible within the termSignalHandler function, you need to add a global statement at the beginning of your function definitions, like so:global incoming, outgoing, context

What version of pyzmq, libzmq are you using?

> No you just leave the forwarder running. That's the magic of using a forwarder with pub-sub sockets. But you should probably change how the forwarder device is configured. The way I use the forwarder is to have it bind both the incoming and outgoing sockets and then have the producers and consumers connect to the forwarder; that way once the forwarder is running, producer and consumer processes can start and stop without crashing the other.
