Sending data from one Protocol to another Protocol in Twisted?

Question

One of my protocols is connected to a server, and with the output of that I\'d like to send it to the other protocol.

I need to access the \'msg\' method in ClassA

How do I make input on one connection result in output on another?

This seems like it's a Twisted question, but actually it's a Python question. Each Protocol object represents one connection; you can call its transport.write to write some data to it. These are regular Python objects; you can put them into lists, dictionaries, or whatever other data structure is appropriate to your application.

As a simple example, add a list to your factory, and in your protocol's connectionMade and connectionLost, add it to and remove it from that list. Here's the Python code:

from twisted.internet.protocol import Protocol, Factory
from twisted.internet import reactor

class MultiEcho(Protocol):
    def connectionMade(self):
        self.factory.echoers.append(self)
    def dataReceived(self, data):
        for echoer in self.factory.echoers:
            echoer.transport.write(data)
    def connectionLost(self, reason):
        self.factory.echoers.remove(self)

class MultiEchoFactory(Factory):
    protocol = MultiEcho
    def __init__(self):
        self.echoers = []

reactor.listenTCP(4321, MultiEchoFactory())
reactor.run()
