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
	)

Uses slave to do job. This function should be called immediately after creating a Job.

Parameters:

	slave	The slave to use. The slave must have been obtained with a call to getConnectedSlave and must not be currently assigned to any other job.
	job	The job to do.

Returns:: true is successful, false otherwise.

See also:: getConnectedSlave()

See also:: disconnectSlave()

See also:: slaveConnected()

See also:: slaveError()

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:

true when KLauncher has a job on hold

bool connect	(	QString	signal,
		QObject	receiver,
		QString	member
	)

Function to connect signals emitted by the scheduler.

See also:: slaveConnected()

See also:: slaveError()

bool connect	(	QObject	sender,
		QString	signal,
		QObject	receiver,
		QString	member
	)

bool connect	(	self,
		QObject	sender,
		QString	signal,
		QString	member
	)

bool disconnect	(	QObject	sender,
		QString	signal,
		QObject	receiver,
		QString	member
	)

bool disconnectSlave	(	KIO.Slave	slave
	)

Disconnects slave.

Parameters:

slave

The slave to disconnect. The slave must have been obtained with a call to getConnectedSlave and must not be assigned to any job.

Returns:: true is successful, false otherwise.

See also:: getConnectedSlave

See also:: assignJobToSlave

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)

slaveError	(	self,
		KIO.Slave	slave,
		int	error,
		QString	errorMsg
	)

Signal syntax:: QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("slaveError(Slave*, int, const QString&)"), target_slot)

unregisterWindow	(	QObject	wid
	)

Internal:: Unregisters the window registered by registerWindow().
