If calling disconnect() from a non-threaded event handler, deadlock can
happen as disconnect() is waiting for threads to close, but the event
runner is blocked by a handler waiting for disconnect() to return.
It is best to specify threaded=True for event handlers which may call
disconnect().
- Add option for disconnecting without sending </stream>:
self.disconnect(send_close=False)
- Optionally distinguish between session_end and disconnected based
on if </stream> was sent.
self.end_session_on_disconnect = False
The set of bool_interfaces provides default behaviour for
checking/setting the presence of empty subelements.
The prime example of this would be:
bool_interfaces = set(['required'])
This would mean that ``stanza['required']`` would return ``True`` for:
<stanza>
<required />
</stanza>
and ``False`` for:
<stanza />
Likewise, assigning ``stanza['required'] = True`` would add an empty
``<required />`` element, and setting it to ``False`` would remove
such an element if it exists.
Added option to XMLStream.send() to skip applying filters.
Filters in the out_sync group are synced with placing stanza content
either on the wire directly or into the send queue. Because of this,
out_sync filters should not block.
Setting self.reconnect_max_attempts to a non-None value will limit
the number of times a connection attempt will be made before quiting
and raising a 'connection_failed' event.
The payload is a dictionary of parsed cert data, as provided by
Python's getpeercert() socket method. It unfortunately does not
provide much detail beyond basic info.
The parsing and namespace cleaning isn't terribly expensive, but it does
add up. It was adding an extra 5sec when processing 100,000 basic
message stanzas.
Based on profiling, using around 35 stream handlers quarters the number
of basic message stanzas that can be processed in a second, in
comparison to only using the bare minimum of four handlers.
To help, we can drop handlers for stream features once the session
has started. So that we can re-enable these handlers when a stream
must restart, the 'stream_start' event has been added which fires
whenever a stream header is received.
The 'stream_start' event is a more generic replacement for the
existing start_stream_handler() method.
