Returnsa 3-tuple of (plugin or name, arguments, keyword arguments)
def _serverFromStringLegacy(reactor, description, default): (source)
Underlying implementation of serverFromString which avoids exposing the deprecated 'default' argument to anything but strports.service.
def serverFromString(reactor, description): (source)

Construct a stream server endpoint from an endpoint description string.

The format for server endpoint descriptions is a simple string. It is a prefix naming the type of endpoint, then a colon, then the arguments for that endpoint.

For example, you can call it like this to create an endpoint that will listen on TCP port 80:
   serverFromString(reactor, "tcp:80")
Additional arguments may be specified as keywords, separated with colons. For example, you can specify the interface for a TCP server endpoint to bind to like this:
   serverFromString(reactor, "tcp:80:interface=127.0.0.1")
SSL server endpoints may be specified with the 'ssl' prefix, and the private key and certificate files may be specified by the privateKey and certKey arguments:
   serverFromString(reactor, "ssl:443:privateKey=key.pem:certKey=crt.pem")

If a private key file name (privateKey) isn't provided, a "server.pem" file is assumed to exist which contains the private key. If the certificate file name (certKey) isn't provided, the private key file is assumed to contain the certificate as well.

You may escape colons in arguments with a backslash, which you will need to use if you want to specify a full pathname argument on Windows:
   serverFromString(reactor,
       "ssl:443:privateKey=C\:/key.pem:certKey=C\:/cert.pem")
finally, the 'unix' prefix may be used to specify a filesystem UNIX socket, optionally with a 'mode' argument to specify the mode of the socket file created by listen:
   serverFromString(reactor, "unix:/var/run/finger")
   serverFromString(reactor, "unix:/var/run/finger:mode=660")
This function is also extensible; new endpoint types may be registered as IStreamServerEndpointStringParser plugins. See that interface for more information.
ParametersreactorThe server endpoint will be constructed with this reactor.
descriptionThe strports description to parse.
ReturnsA new endpoint which can be used to listen with the parameters given by by description. (type: IStreamServerEndpoint )
RaisesValueErrorwhen the 'description' string cannot be parsed.
Present Since10.2
def quoteStringArgument(argument): (source)
Quote an argument to serverFromString and clientFromString. Since arguments are separated with colons and colons are escaped with backslashes, some care is necessary if, for example, you have a pathname, you may be tempted to interpolate into a string like this:
   serverFromString("ssl:443:privateKey=%s" % (myPathName,))
This may appear to work, but will have portability issues (Windows pathnames, for example). Usually you should just construct the appropriate endpoint type rather than interpolating strings, which in this case would be SSL4ServerEndpoint. There are some use-cases where you may need to generate such a string, though; for example, a tool to manipulate a configuration file which has strports descriptions in it. To be correct in those cases, do this instead:
   serverFromString("ssl:443:privateKey=%s" %
                    (quoteStringArgument(myPathName),))
ParametersargumentThe part of the endpoint description string you want to pass through. (type: str )
ReturnsThe quoted argument. (type: str )
def _parseClientTCP(**kwargs): (source)

Perform any argument value coercion necessary for TCP client parameters.

Valid keyword arguments to this function are all IReactorTCP.connectTCP arguments.
ReturnsThe coerced values as a dict.
def _loadCAsFromDir(directoryPath): (source)
Load certificate-authority certificate objects in a given directory.
ParametersdirectoryPatha FilePath pointing at a directory to load .pem files from.
Returnsa list of OpenSSL.crypto.X509 objects.
def _parseClientSSL(**kwargs): (source)

Perform any argument value coercion necessary for SSL client parameters.

Valid keyword arguments to this function are all IReactorSSL.connectSSL arguments except for contextFactory. Instead, certKey (the path name of the certificate file) privateKey (the path name of the private key associated with the certificate) are accepted and used to construct a context factory.
ParameterscaCertsDirThe one parameter which is not part of IReactorSSL.connectSSL's signature, this is a path name used to construct a list of certificate authority certificates. The directory will be scanned for files ending in .pem, all of which will be considered valid certificate authorities for this connection. (type: str )
ReturnsThe coerced values as a dict.
def _parseClientUNIX(**kwargs): (source)

Perform any argument value coercion necessary for UNIX client parameters.

Valid keyword arguments to this function are all IReactorUNIX.connectUNIX arguments except for checkPID. Instead, lockfile is accepted and has the same meaning.
ReturnsThe coerced values as a dict.
def clientFromString(reactor, description): (source)

Construct a client endpoint from a description string.

Client description strings are much like server description strings, although they take all of their arguments as keywords, since even the simplest client endpoint (plain TCP) requires at least 2 arguments (host and port) to construct.

You can create a TCP client endpoint with the 'host' and 'port' arguments, like so:
   clientFromString(reactor, "tcp:host=www.example.com:port=80")
or an SSL client endpoint with those arguments, plus the arguments used by the server SSL, for a client certificate:
   clientFromString(reactor, "ssl:host=web.example.com:port=443:"
                             "privateKey=foo.pem:certKey=foo.pem")
to specify your certificate trust roots, you can identify a directory with PEM files in it with the caCertsDir argument:
   clientFromString(reactor, "ssl:host=web.example.com:port=443:"
                             "caCertsDir=/etc/ssl/certs")
This function is also extensible; new endpoint types may be registered as IStreamClientEndpointStringParser plugins. See that interface for more information.
ParametersreactorThe client endpoint will be constructed with this reactor.
descriptionThe strports description to parse.
ReturnsA new endpoint which can be used to connect with the parameters given by by description. (type: IStreamClientEndpoint )
