Since it isn't required until the landing of the new service-manager
stuff in goodboy/tractor#12; was an oversight
from commit `0607a31dddeba032a2cf7d9fe605edd9d7bb4846`.
There's a been a todo for soo long for this XD
Since all `Actor`'s store a set of `._peers` we can try a lookup on that
table as a shortcut before pinging the registry Bo
Impl deats:
- add a new `._discovery.get_peer_by_name()` routine which attempts the
`._peers` lookup by combining a copy of that `dict` + an entry added
for `Actor._parent_chan` (since all subs have a parent and often the
desired contact is just that connection).
- change `.find_actor()` (for the `only_first == True` case),
`.query_actor()` and `.wait_for_actor()` to call the new helper and
deliver appropriate outputs if possible.
Other,
- deprecate `get_arbiter()` def and all usage in tests and examples.
- drop lingering use of `arbiter_sockaddr` arg to various routines.
- tweak the `Actor` doc str as well as some code fmting and a tweak to
the `._stream_handler()`'s initial `con_status: str` logging value
since the way it was could never be reached.. oh and `.warning()` on
any new connections which already have a `_pre_chan: Channel` entry in
`._peers` so we can start minimizing IPC duplications.
Since it was all ad-hoc defined inside
`._ipc.MsgpackTCPStream._iter_pkts()` more or less, this starts
formalizing a way for particular transport backends to indicate whether
a disconnect condition should be re-raised in the RPC msg loop and if
not what log level to report it at (if any).
Based on our lone transport currently we try to suppress any logging
noise from ephemeral connections expected during normal actor
interaction and discovery subsys ops:
- any short lived discovery related TCP connects are only logged as
`.transport()` level.
- both `.error()` and raise on any underlying `trio.ClosedResource`
cause since that normally means some task touched transport layer
internals that it shouldn't have.
- do a `.warning()` on anything else unexpected.
Impl deats:
- extend the `._exceptions.TransportClosed` to accept an input log
level, raise-on-report toggle and custom reporting & raising via a new
`.report_n_maybe_raise()` method.
- construct the TCs with inputs per case in (the newly named) `._iter_pkts().
- call ^ this method from the `TransportClosed` handler block inside the
RPC msg loop thus delegating reporting levels and/or raising to the
backend's per-case TC instantiating.
Related `._ipc` changes:
- mask out all the `MsgpackTCPStream._codec` debug helper stuff and drop
any lingering cruft from the initial proto-ing of msg-codecs.
- rename some attrs/methods:
|_`MsgpackTCPStream._iter_packets()` -> `._iter_pkts()` and
`._agen` -> `_aiter_pkts`.
|_`Channel._aiter_recv()` -> `._aiter_msgs()` and
`._agen` -> `_aiter_msgs`.
- add `hide_tb: bool` support to `Channel.send()` and only show the
frame on non-MTEs.
Where `.devx` is "developer experience", a hopefully broad enough subpkg
name for all the slick stuff planned to augment working on the actor
runtime 💥
Move the `._debug` module into the new subpkg and adjust rest of core
code base to reflect import path change. Also add a new
`.devx._debug.open_crash_handler()` manager for wrapping any sync code
outside a `trio.run()` which is handy for eventual CLI addons for
popular frameworks like `click`/`typer`.
This works now for supporting a new `tractor.pause_from_sync()`
`tractor`-aware-replacement for `Pdb.set_trace()` from sync functions
which are also scheduled from our runtime. Uses `greenback` to do all
the magic of scheduling the bg `tractor._debug._pause()` task and
engaging the normal TTY locking machinery triggered by `await
tractor.breakpoint()`
Further this starts some public API renaming, making a switch to
`tractor.pause()` from `.breakpoint()` which IMO much better expresses
the semantics of the runtime intervention required to suffice
multi-process "breakpointing"; it also is an alternate name for the same
in computer science more generally: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakpoint
It also avoids using the same name as the `breakpoint()` built-in which
is important since there **is alot more going on** when you call our
equivalent API.
Deats of that:
- add deprecation warning for `tractor.breakpoint()`
- add `tractor.pause()` and a shorthand, easier-to-type, alias `.pp()`
for "pause-point" B)
- add `pause_from_sync()` as the new `breakpoint()`-from-sync-function
hack which does all the `greenback` stuff for the user.
Still TODO:
- figure out where in the runtime and when to call
`greenback.ensure_portal()`.
- fix the frame selection issue where
`trio._core._ki._ki_protection_decorator:wrapper` seems to be always
shown on REPL start as the selected frame..
- Remove `exceptiongroup` import,
- pin to py 3.11 in `setup.py`
- revert any lingering `tractor.devx` imports; sub-pkg is coming in
a downstream PR!
- remove weird double `@property` lingering from conflict reso..
- modern `pytest` requires conftest mod mods to be relative imported.
Since one-way streaming can be accomplished by just *not* sending on one
side (and/or thus wrapping such usage in a more restrictive API), we
just drop the recv-only parent type. The only method different was
`MsgStream.send()`, now merged in. Further in usage of `.subscribe()`
we monkey patch the underlying stream's `.send()` onto the delivered
broadcast receiver so that subscriber tasks can two-way stream as though
using the stream directly.
This allows us to more definitively drop `tractor.open_stream_from()` in
the longer run if we so choose as well; note currently this will
potentially create an issue if a caller tries to `.send()` on such a one
way stream.
Sometimes it's handy to just have a non-`Portal` yielding way
to figure out if a "service" actor is up, so add this discovery
helper for that. We'll prolly just leave it undocumented for
now until we figure out a longer-term/better discovery system.
This commit obviously denotes a re-license of all applicable parts of
the code base. Acknowledgement of this change was completed in #274 by
the majority of the current set of contributors. From here henceforth
all changes will be AGPL licensed and distributed. This is purely an
effort to maintain the same copy-left policy whilst closing the
(perceived) SaaS loophole the GPL allows for. It is merely for this
loophole: to avoid code hiding by any potential "network providers" who
are attempting to use the project to make a profit without either
compensating the authors or re-distributing their changes.
I thought quite a bit about this change and can't see a reason not to
close the SaaS loophole in our current license. We still are (hard)
copy-left and I plan to keep the code base this way for a couple
reasons:
- The code base produces income/profit through parent projects and is
demonstrably of high value.
- I believe firms should not get free lunch for the sake of
"contributions from their employees" or "usage as a service" which
I have found to be a dubious argument at best.
- If a firm who intends to profit from the code base wants to use it
they can propose a secondary commercial license to purchase with the
proceeds going to the project's authors under some form of well
defined contract.
- Many successful projects like Qt use this model; I see no reason it
can't work in this case until such a time as the authors feel it
should be loosened.
There has been detailed discussion in #103 on licensing alternatives.
The main point of this AGPL change is to protect the code base for the
time being from exploitation while it grows and as we move into the next
phase of development which will include extension into the multi-host
distributed software space.
This begins the move to dropping support for `tractor.run()` which we
don't really need since the runtime is started (as it always has been)
from a new sub-task / nursery. Instead this introduces starting the
actor tree through a `open_root_actor()` async context manager which
we'll likely implicitly call (from the root) on the first use of an
actor nursery.
Drop `_actor._start_actor()` and factor its contents into this new api.
Make `run()` and `run_daemon()` use `open_root_actor()` until we decide
to remove them.
Relates to #168 and #177
This resolves and completes #69 allowing all RPC invocation APIs to pass
function references directly instead of explicit `str` names for the
target namespace and function (this is still done implicitly
underneath). This brings us closer to `trio`'s task running API as well
as acknowledges that any inter-host RPC system (and API) will likely
need to be implemented on top of local RPC primitives anyway. Even if
this ends up **not** being true we can always go to "function stubs" as
part of our IAC protocol or, add a new method to do explicit namespace
calls: `.run_from_module()` or whatever everyone votes on.
Resolves#69
Further, this commit drops `Actor.statespace` from the entire system
since a user can easily get this same functionality using module
level variables. Fix docs to match all these changes (luckily mostly
already done due to example scripts referencing).
Turns out this is a lower level issue in terms of the stdlib's default
`pdb.Pdb` settings and how they conflict with `trio`s cancellation and
KBI handling. The details are hashed out more thoroughly in
python-trio/trio#1155. Maybe we can get a fix in trio so things are
solved under our feet :)
Set `trio-run-in-process` as the default on *nix systems and
`multiprocessing`'s spawn method on Windows. Enable overriding the
default choice using `tractor._spawn.try_set_start_method()`. Allows
for easy runs of the test suite using a user chosen backend.
Add `@tractor.stream` which must be used to denote non async generator
streaming functions which use the `tractor.Context` API to push values.
This enforces a more explicit denotation as well as allows enforcing the
declaration of the `ctx` argument in definitions.
Add full support for using the "spawn" process starting method as per:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/multiprocessing.html#contexts-and-start-methods
Add a `spawn_method` argument to `tractor.run()` for specifying the
desired method explicitly. By default use the "fastest" method available.
On *nix systems this is the original "forkserver" method.
This should be the solution to getting windows support!
Resolves#60
Add a draft pub-sub API `@tractor.msg.pub` which allows
for decorating an asyn generator which can stream topic keyed
dictionaries for delivery to multiple calling / consuming tasks.
RPC module/function lookups should not cause the target actor to crash.
This change instead ships the error back to the calling actor allowing
for the remote actor to continue running depending on the caller's
error handling logic. Adds a new `ModuleNotExposed` error to accommodate.
