Scheduler Class Reference
from PyKDE4.kio import *
Inherits: QObject
Namespace: KIO
Detailed Description
The KIO.Scheduler manages io-slaves for the application. It also queues jobs and assigns the job to a slave when one becomes available.
There are 3 possible ways for a job to get a slave:
<h3>1. Direct</h3> This is the default. When you create a job the KIO.Scheduler will be notified and will find either an existing slave that is idle or it will create a new slave for the job.
Example:
TransferJob *job = KIO.get(KUrl("http://www.kde.org"));
<h3>2. Scheduled</h3> If you create a lot of jobs, you might want not want to have a slave for each job. If you schedule a job, a maximum number of slaves will be created. When more jobs arrive, they will be queued. When a slave is finished with a job, it will be assigned a job from the queue.
Example:
TransferJob *job = KIO.get(KUrl("http://www.kde.org"));
KIO.Scheduler.scheduleJob(job);
<h3>3. Connection Oriented</h3> For some operations it is important that multiple jobs use the same connection. This can only be ensured if all these jobs use the same slave.
You can ask the scheduler to open a slave for connection oriented operations. You can then use the scheduler to assign jobs to this slave. The jobs will be queued and the slave will handle these jobs one after the other.
Example:
Slave *slave = KIO.Scheduler.getConnectedSlave(
KUrl("pop3://bastian:password@mail.kde.org"));
TransferJob *job1 = KIO.get(
KUrl("pop3://bastian:password@mail.kde.org/msg1"));
KIO.Scheduler.assignJobToSlave(slave, job1);
TransferJob *job2 = KIO.get(
KUrl("pop3://bastian:password@mail.kde.org/msg2"));
KIO.Scheduler.assignJobToSlave(slave, job2);
TransferJob *job3 = KIO.get(
KUrl("pop3://bastian:password@mail.kde.org/msg3"));
KIO.Scheduler.assignJobToSlave(slave, job3);
// ... Wait for jobs to finish...
KIO.Scheduler.disconnectSlave(slave);
Note that you need to explicitly disconnect the slave when the connection goes down, so your error handler should contain:
if (error == KIO.ERR_CONNECTION_BROKEN)
KIO.Scheduler.disconnectSlave(slave);

Method Documentation
| __init__ | ( | self, | ||
| KIO.Scheduler | a0 | |||
| ) |
| __init__ | ( | self ) |
| bool assignJobToSlave | ( | KIO.Slave | slave, | |
| KIO.SimpleJob | job | |||
| ) |
| cancelJob | ( | KIO.SimpleJob | job | |
| ) |
Stop the execution of a job.
- Parameters:
-
job the job to cancel
| checkSlaveOnHold | ( | bool | b | |
| ) |
When true, the next job will check whether KLauncher has a slave on hold that is suitable for the job.
- Parameters:
-
b true when KLauncher has a job on hold
Function to connect signals emitted by the scheduler.
- See also:
- slaveConnected()
- See also:
- slaveError()
| bool disconnectSlave | ( | KIO.Slave | slave | |
| ) |
| doJob | ( | KIO.SimpleJob | job | |
| ) |
Register job with the scheduler. The default is to create a new slave for the job if no slave is available. This can be changed by calling scheduleJob.
- Parameters:
-
job the job to register
| emitReparseSlaveConfiguration | ( | ) |
| KIO.Slave getConnectedSlave | ( | KUrl | url, | |
| KIO.MetaData | config=KIO.MetaData() | |||
| ) |
Requests a slave for use in connection-oriented mode.
- Parameters:
-
url This defines the username,password,host & port to connect with. config Configuration data for the slave.
- Returns:
- A pointer to a connected slave or 0 if an error occurred.
- See also:
- assignJobToSlave()
- See also:
- disconnectSlave()
| jobFinished | ( | KIO.SimpleJob | job, | |
| KIO.Slave | slave | |||
| ) |
Called when a job is done.
- Parameters:
-
job the finished job slave the slave that executed the job
| publishSlaveOnHold | ( | ) |
Send the slave that was put on hold back to KLauncher. This allows another process to take over the slave and resume the job that was started.
| putSlaveOnHold | ( | KIO.SimpleJob | job, | |
| KUrl | url | |||
| ) |
Puts a slave on notice. A next job may reuse this slave if it requests the same URL.
A job can be put on hold after it has emit'ed its mimetype. Based on the mimetype, the program can give control to another component in the same process which can then resume the job by simply asking for the same URL again.
- Parameters:
-
job the job that should be stopped url the URL that is handled by the url
| registerWindow | ( | QWidget | wid | |
| ) |
Register the mainwindow wid with the KIO subsystem Do not call this, it is called automatically from void KIO.Job.setWindow(QWidget*).
- Parameters:
-
wid the window to register
| removeSlaveOnHold | ( | ) |
Removes any slave that might have been put on hold. If a slave was put on hold it will be killed.
| reparseSlaveConfiguration | ( | self, | ||
| QString | a0 | |||
| ) |
- Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("reparseSlaveConfiguration(const QString&)"), target_slot)
| scheduleJob | ( | KIO.SimpleJob | job | |
| ) |
Calling ths function makes that job gets scheduled for later execution, if multiple jobs are registered it might wait for other jobs to finish.
- Parameters:
-
job the job to schedule
| slaveConnected | ( | self, | ||
| KIO.Slave | slave | |||
| ) |
- Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("slaveConnected(Slave*)"), target_slot)
- Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("slaveError(Slave*, int, const QString&)"), target_slot)
| unregisterWindow | ( | QObject | wid | |
| ) |
- Internal:
- Unregisters the window registered by registerWindow().
