Re: [Quickfix-developers] Fwd: QuickFIX Python and Twisted

[Robert P. <rob...@gm...>]

Unfortuntely, I'm unable to get it running on my end.

I've grabbed the QuickfixPython.cpp file straight from SVN and
compiled.  ( The python version is 2.3.4 RHEL, and the OS is CentOS
4.4 on i386, if that's at all relevant. )

I run this simple client,

------------------------------------------------------------------

fileName = "my.conf"
settings   = quickfix.SessionSettings(fileName)
application  = MyClient(connStr)
storeFactory = quickfix.FileStoreFactory(settings)
logFactory   = quickfix.FileLogFactory(settings)
initiator = quickfix.SocketInitiator(application, storeFactory,
settings, logFactory)

time.sleep(3)

log.msg("starting initiator...")
initiator.start()
log.msg("...started initiator.")

log.msg("starting sleep cycle")
while True :
	time.sleep(1)
	log.msg("snore")	
initiator.stop()
-----------------------------------------------------

For output, I only see this:
2006/11/15 21:11 EST [-] Log opened.
2006/11/15 21:11 EST [-] MyClient: created.
2006/11/15 21:11 EST [-] starting initiator...
2006/11/15 21:11 EST [-] ...started initiator.
2006/11/15 21:11 EST [-] starting sleep cycle

And it hangs there indefinitely. I DO notice that if I remove the
time.sleep(1), I see a bunch of "snore"'s, but that they stop after a
second (same happens with just print statement).

I've tried adding cout's to the QuickfixPython.cpp code, and can see
when each swig threading macro is invoked, but the cout's in the
wrap_Initiator_start function I don't see being invoked at all, so I'm
at a bit of a loss.

Tomorrow, I'll try to get a fresh checkout and see if I can get that
running. Has anyone

BTW, I have some modifications to quickfix.i to allow for ODBC,
PostgreSQL, and MySQL data stores and logging, so I need to regenerate
QuickfixPython.cpp instead of just using the one from SVN. However,
for now I'll use the File-based store and logging.

cheers,
rob
