greenhouse.backdoor – Interpreter On A Socket¶

These functions enable running an additional server in greenhouse server processes, which accepts connections and runs interactive python interpreters on them, enabling entirely flexible and ad-hoc server administration at runtime.

greenhouse.backdoor.run_backdoor(address, namespace=None)¶

start a server that runs python interpreters on connections made to it

Note

this function blocks effectively indefinitely – it runs the listening socket loop in the current greenlet. to keep the current greenlet free, schedule this function.

Parameters:	address (tuple) – the address on which to listen for backdoor connections, in the form of a two-tuple (host, port) namespace (dict or None) – the local namespace dict for the interpreter, or None to have each connection create its own empty namespace

greenhouse.backdoor.backdoor_handler(clientsock, namespace=None)¶

start an interactive python interpreter on an existing connection

Note

this function will block for as long as the connection remains alive.

Parameters:	sock (Socket) – the socket on which to serve the interpreter namespace (dict or None) – the local namespace dict for the interpreter, or None to have the function create its own empty namespace
