Module - Network Programming with Python
Motivation
Python supports many common network protocols for both server and client With its standard library. In addition, there are several open source libraries that offer more functionality or other protocols.
Course Content
The Twisted Framework
Twisted supports all common network protocols and allows to write own protocols with little effort. Twisted works asynchronously and therefore allows to process network connections in parallel. The basics of asynchronous programming are taught and exercised.
HTTP with the Standard Library
A HTTP server for static as well as for dynamic pages is implemented with the standard library.
HTTP with Twisted
A HTTP server for static as well as for dynamic pages is implemented with Twisted. The focus is on the fundamentally different approach as compared to using the standard library.
FTP Server with Twisted
A simple FTP server will be set up with Twisted.
FTP Client with ftputil
The library ftputil is used as a FTP client. It provides file-system-like access to a FTP server.
XMLRPC with the Standard Library
A XMLRPC server and a XMLRPC client are implemented with the standard library.
XMLRPC with Twisted
A XMLRPC server and a XMLRPC client are implemented with Twisted.
SOAP with Twisted
A SOAP server and a SOAP client are implemented with Twisted.
Twisted Perspective Broker
The Perspective Broker is part of Twisted framework. It allows the distributed execution of programs A server as well as client is implemented.
Python Remote Objects
Python Remote Objects (Pyro) offers another way for distributed computing in a heterogeneous network. A functional example is implemented.
Module Duration
0.5 days
Exercises
The participants can follow all steps directly on their computers. There are exercises at the end of each unit providing ample opportunity to apply the freshly learned knowledge.
Course Material
Every participant receives comprehensive printed materials that cover the whole course content as wells as a CD with all source codes and used software.
Recommended Module Combinations
The module Threads and Processes in Python covers supplementary topics.
The course may be combined with the course Python for Nonprogrammers or Python for Programmers.
