Crochet is an MIT-licensed library that makes it easier to use Twisted
from regular blocking code:
from __future__ import print_function
from twisted.names import client
from crochet import setup, wait_for
setup()
@wait_for(timeout=5.0)
def gethostbyname(name):
"""Use the Twisted DNS library."""
d = client.lookupAddress(name)
d.addCallback(lambda result: result[0][0].payload.dottedQuad())
return d
if __name__ == '__main__':
# Application code using the public API - notice it works in a normal
# blocking manner, with no event loop visible:
import sys
name = sys.argv[1]
ip = gethostbyname(name)
print(name, "->", ip)
New in 1.4.0 is Python 3.4 support as well as support for using Crochet
with uWSGI, and additional documentation on workarounds for various
limitations of Crochet.
