Simple multiprocessing toolkit. This is based on the Gunicorn multiprocessing engine.
This library allows you to supervise multiple type of workers and chain supervisors. Gracefull, reload, signaling between workers is handled.
Simple Arbiter launching one worker:
from pistil.arbiter import Arbiter
from pistil.worker import Worker
class MyWorker(Worker):
def handle(self):
print "hello from worker n°%s" % self.pid
if __name__ == "__main__":
conf = {}
specs = [(MyWorker, 30, "worker", {}, "test")]
a = Arbiter(conf, specs)
a.run()The same with different with the Pool arbiter. This time we send the same worker on 3 os processes:
from pistil.pool import PoolArbiter
from pistil.worker import Worker
class MyWorker(Worker):
def handle(self):
print "hello from worker n°%s" % self.pid
if __name__ == "__main__":
conf = {"num_workers": 3 }
spec = (MyWorker, 30, "worker", {}, "test",)
a = PoolArbiter(conf, spec)
a.run()A common use for that pattern is a tcp server tjhat share the same socket between them. For that purpose pistil provides the TcpArbiter and TcpSyncWorker and the GeventTcpWorker to use with gevent.
Pistil allows you to mix diffrent kind of workers in an arbiter:
from pistil.arbiter import Arbiter
from pistil.worker import Worker
class MyWorker(Worker):
def handle(self):
print "hello worker 1 from %s" % self.name
class MyWorker2(Worker):
def handle(self):
print "hello worker 2 from %s" % self.name
if __name__ == '__main__':
conf = {}
specs = [
(MyWorker, 30, "worker", {}, "w1"),
(MyWorker2, 30, "worker", {}, "w2"),
(MyWorker2, 30, "kill", {}, "w3")
]
# launchh the arbiter
arbiter = Arbiter(conf, specs)
arbiter.run()You can also chain arbiters:
import time
import urllib2
from pistil.arbiter import Arbiter
from pistil.worker import Worker
from pistil.tcp.sync_worker import TcpSyncWorker
from pistil.tcp.arbiter import TcpArbiter
from http_parser.http import HttpStream
from http_parser.reader import SocketReader
class MyTcpWorker(TcpSyncWorker):
def handle(self, sock, addr):
p = HttpStream(SocketReader(sock))
path = p.path()
data = "welcome wold"
sock.send("".join(["HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n",
"Content-Type: text/html\r\n",
"Content-Length:" + str(len(data)) + "\r\n",
"Connection: close\r\n\r\n",
data]))
class UrlWorker(Worker):
def handle(self):
f = urllib2.urlopen("http://localhost:5000")
print f.read()
class MyPoolArbiter(TcpArbiter):
def on_init(self, conf):
TcpArbiter.on_init(self, conf)
# we return a spec
return (MyTcpWorker, 30, "worker", {}, "http_welcome",)
if __name__ == '__main__':
conf = {"num_workers": 3, "address": ("127.0.0.1", 5000)}
specs = [
(MyPoolArbiter, 30, "supervisor", {}, "tcp_pool"),
(UrlWorker, 30, "worker", {}, "grabber")
]
arbiter = Arbiter(conf, specs)
arbiter.run()This examplelaunch a web server with 3 workers on port 5000 and another worker fetching the welcome page hosted by this server:
