Hello MinRK and all, 

Again i am getting an issue with unicode with python 3 i thing they have something different with relevant to unicode, so i use something like:

        self.receivingSocket = self.zmqContext.socket(zmq.PUB)
        self.receivingSocket.connect(self._forwaderpubaddress)
        self.receivingSocket.setsockopt_unicode(zmq.SUBSCRIBE, ' ')

and i get the error like :
  
 self.receivingSocket.setsockopt_unicode(zmq.SUBSCRIBE,'')
 File "socket.pyx", line 408, in zmq.core.socket.Socket.setsockopt_unicode (zmq\core\socket.c:3994)
 File "socket.pyx", line 322, in zmq.core.socket.Socket.setsockopt (zmq\core\socket.c:3353)
 zmq.core.error.ZMQError: Invalid argument

This is very confusing. :-(

Hello MinRK, 

Thanks for the reply, now i have two more questions from your answer:

1) What do you mean b telling daemon=TRUE, does the background process run as a infinite loop or something like that.



See the docs for what daemon means.  zmq_device is already an infinite loop.


 2) Now my code was working good in Python 2.7.2 but when i test this on python 3.x i get a very weird unicode error i have pasted that below:



  File "socket.pyx", line 285, in zmq.core.socket.Socket.setsockopt (zmq\core\socket.c:3017)
TypeError: unicode not allowed, use setsockopt_unicode

i use following code to start the ProcessDevice:



    pd = ProcessDevice(zmq.FORWARDER,zmq.SUB,zmq.PUB)
    pd.bind_in("tcp://127.0.0.1:5564")
    pd.bind_out("tcp://127.0.0.1:4452")


    pd.setsockopt_in(zmq.SUBSCRIBE, "")
    pd.start()


Thanks,
Ronald

Hello Cornelius,

Thanks for pointing that out. I Used ProcessDevice and it worked the way i want, but was not able to understand, some questions:

1) Does ProcessDevice takes care of doing the clean up work ??




2) Is there way i can close the processdevice or i can check if its already running ??

I tried terminating the python interpreter ,  but as that is a different process i dont this thats going to killed with my old way.





ProcessDevice simply sets up sockets and calls zmq.device() via multiprocessing, which in turn uses fork (or a filthy broken mess on Windows).  The underlying Process (or Thread) is available as Device.launcher.  You can query that with dev.launcher.is_alive(), dev.launcher.pid, etc.  The appropriate references for these objects are the stdlib docs for multiprocessing.Process and threading.Thread respectively.




The devices default to using `daemon=True`, which means that Python will try to terminate them on a clean exit (forcefully terminating the parent doesn't give it the chance to cleanup, and ProcessDevices will continue to run as orphans in this case).

                Check out the documentation on devices and pyzmq as well as the zguide




... whenever i start a zmq.device(zmq.Forwarder), this blocks my interpreter, so is there any way of starting a forwarder always as a different process or any ways of making it non-blocking.

Hello All, 

I had one more small question, whenever i start a zmq.device(zmq.Forwarder), this blocks my interpreter, so is there any way of starting a forwarder always as a different process or any ways of making it non-blocking.





Hope my question is clear.

Ok the first question is i am back to zero, so now when my scripts are working i am able to send messages, the question of cleaning comes.

i am using the following code for the forwarder and i think thats correct, but when i kill the process which is running the forwarder the SIGTERM signal is not fired i guess and incoming, outgoing and zmq context is not cleaned properly.





code:

import zmq
import signal


# this method handles the termination of the app
# this handler is responsible for properly cleaning of the ports
def termSignalHandler(signum,frame):
    incoming.close()




    outgoing.close()
    context.term()
    print("termSignal Handler Called")

def startForwarder():
    context = zmq.Context(1)
    incoming = context.socket(zmq.SUB)
    outgoing = context.socket(zmq.PUB)





    try:
        incoming.connect("tcp://127.0.0.1:5559");
        incoming.setsockopt(zmq.SUBSCRIBE, "")
    except:
        print("incoming socket is already open")





    try:
        outgoing.bind('tcp://127.0.0.1:4449')
    except:
        print("outgoing socket is open")

    zmq.device(zmq.FORWARDER, incoming, outgoing)




    
signal.signal(signal.SIGTERM,termSignalHandler)
startForwarder()

a proper copy can be found at https://gist.github.com/2132163, can you guys tell me what wrong i am doing here.

Hello Cornelius and Justin, 

I was at last able to get my forwarder to work and it was my mistake.

My sender code which was like:

def sendMessage():
    context = zmq.Context()
    sender = context.socket(zmq.PUB)
    sender.bind('tcp://127.0.0.1:5558')
    sender.send("This is the sender")

was the actual problem, i got to know from my reading that call to socket.bind should happen only once, so i changed my sender code to
something like:

socket = context.socket(zmq.PUB)




socket.bind('tcp://127.0.0.1:4443')

def sendMessage(socket,message):
    try:
        socket.send(message)
    except:
        print "Unable To Send Message"





and than i was able to send messages but this gets me into two three more problems, i hope you guys will help me out is giving me some
ideas about this.

                From the looks of your code https://gist.github.com/2119078, you define functions for sending and receiving messages, but you do not call them, like you do with Forwarder.py.




                
Also for the sake of easier testing, you may want to have your sender script to send multiple messages to allow you to see what's going on.--

Thanks for your reply cornelius.

I am now using netstat for checking the blocked ports.

Meanwhile i have uploaded the code here https://gist.github.com/2119078





and there is no proprietary code at the moment its the basic code where i am trying to get the forwarder working.

and your last point is very valid, i start first the forwarder, than i start the receiver and than the sender to send messages. From this the point you have mentioned can be a problem.





I will be grateful if you can just have a look at the code its very small and let me know if i am doing some wrong.

Regards,
Ronald

                    Ronald,
                
You can use netstat. You're using windows, right? http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/netstat.mspx?mfr=true




As for debugging your code, can you paste the code into a paste bin or gist.github?Try this for instance: https://gist.github.com/




                You omit out any code that is proprietary if this for work or research.
After you check your ports, you should think about whether the order in which ports are being opened is an issue. For instance, your forwarder device binds the outgoing port, but what if the  receiver thread starts before the device?

Hello Justin,

Thanks again for reply. 


I have tried restarting the platform, and i have also checked it in two different machines, and in both machine it doesn't work.

I am clue of ideas how to debug this problem as the no of line of code is very small too. 





Is there any way i  can diagnose that the port is closed or blocked something like that.

Thanks,
Ronald
