The pushy.server module provides functions for servicing requests on a Pushy connection. It provides some internal functions (not documented here, due to their being internal) for servicing requests on a connection, and also, discussed below, the function pushy.server.run() for starting a nailed-up server for listening for connections.
Create a TCP/IP socket, and service the incoming connections. This is to be used in conjunction with the pushy.transport.daemon module, for situations where a long-lived server process is required.
| Parameters: | port (Integer, or the string constant “stdio”.) – The port on which to listen for connections. If omitted, the port will be DEFAULT_PORT. If the string “stdio” is specified, then the server will instead service a connection over standard I/O. |
|---|
The default port on which the Pushy server will listen for incoming connections: 10101.
As an alternative to to the pushy.server.run() function, it is possible to start a Pushy server from the command line, like so:
$ hostname
fork
$ python -m pushy.server
