Method Details

[hide private]

query(self, query)

source code

Queries the remote machine.

This method automatically handles the necessary locking to be thread-safe. Do NOT acquire this object's lock before calling this method - the method will block and never return.

socket(self)

source code

Returns the backing socket.

Because using this socket erases the thread safety, this method should never be used.
