Simple Network UDP Listen in Flask or Pyramid

问题

I need to create a web app that displays data provided via periodic incoming UDP packets. The site will be probably be in Flask (possibly Pyramid), deployed under Nginx. How can a I create a very simple background task (basically just socket.recv()) to listen for any incoming packets, and push the data into globally accessible lists?

Can I simply spawn a thread from main() to do this, or do I need to use something like Celery or PyRes?

Thanks for any guidance.

You will have to use celery but you're in luck because There's already a flask extension that integrates celery. you'll have to pip install flask, pip install flask-celery, pip install redis and you'll need a redis server on your system.

import socket, select, Queue

from flask import Flask
from celery import Celery


def make_celery(app):
    celery = Celery(app.import_name, broker=app.config['CELERY_BROKER_URL'])
    celery.conf.update(app.config)
    TaskBase = celery.Task
    class ContextTask(TaskBase):
        abstract = True
        def __call__(self, *args, **kwargs):
            with app.app_context():
                return TaskBase.__call__(self, *args, **kwargs)
    celery.Task = ContextTask
    return celery

app = Flask(__name__)
app.config.update(
    CELERY_BROKER_URL='redis://localhost:6379',
    CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND='redis://localhost:6379'
)
celery = make_celery(app)
socket_queue = Queue.Queue()


@celery.task()
def listen_to_udp():
    """

    """
    s1 = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
    s1.bind(('0.0.0.0', 1337))
    s2 = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_RAW, socket.IPPROTO_UDP)
    s2.bind(('0.0.0.0', 1337))
    while True:
        r, w, x = select.select([s1, s2], [], [])
        for i in r:
            socket_queue.put((i, i.recvfrom(131072)))

@app.route("/")
def test_home():
    listen_to_udp.delay()
    print(socket_queue.get())

if __name__ == "__main__":
    #run install.py to install dependencies and create the database
    app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=5000, debug=True)
