Python Twisted protocol unregistering?

Question

I've came up with problem regarding unregistering protocols from reactor in twisted while application is running.

I use hardware modems connected to PC by USB and that's why this scenario is so important for my solution. Has anyone an idea how to do it?

Answer 1

When you first call reactor.listen on your protocol factory, it returns an object that implements IListeningPort, see http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/8.2.0/api/twisted.internet.interfaces.IListeningPort.html -- just save that object somewhere and when you want to stop listening on that protocol factori, call that object's stopListening method.

I assume that reactor.listen on the protocol factory is what you implicitly mean by "registering" a protocol (which logically should be what you're trying to undo by "unregistering" it), if you mean something else please clarify exactly how you "register a protocol" and we'll work out how to undo that!-)
