RecSync installation with python 3.6.8 and twistd 21.7.0

[Jianming You via Tech-talk <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Dear Experts,

 

We are testing RecSync on the following environment.

Linux my.site 3.10.0-1160.41.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Aug 31 08:06:26 CDT 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

python 3.6.8 and twistd 21.7.0.

 

We have encountered a few issues so far.

1. Reactor “epoll” is activated by default, and it’s not working.

twistd --reactor=poll -n recceiver -f cf.conf

caused error “reactor is already installed”. Adding code to remove the “epoll” in “__init__.py” fixed the problem. Reactor “poll” is active.

2. “reactor” does not seem to kick start by itself. Announcer started after “reactor.run()” is added.
3. The Announcer broadcasted the TCP port with byte-swapped.

 

Has somebody had similar experience?

Did we miss some important set up procedures?

 

Any insight is highly appreciated.

 

Thanks

Jimmy
