JsonPikle to send Ryu object type

[abdullah...@gmail.com]

Dear,
I am not sure if this list is the right place to ask my question.
Actually, I am using Python to investigate my work in SDN using Ryu Controller.

Obviously, I have two python applications.
the first one sends object using socket to the second.
The object type is <class 'ryu.ofproto.ofproto_v1_3_parser.OFPPacketIn'>.

I have used pickle and json, but they could not send it.

I am trying Jsonpickle right now which send it well

def sendToC2(self, y):

        data = jsonpickle.encode(y)

        s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

        host = socket.gethostname() # Get local machine name

       port = 12345                # Reserve a port for your service.

        s.connect((host, port))

        s.sendall(data)

        #print s.recv(1024)

        s.close

     
But the second application cannot decode it.

s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

#host = socket.gethostname() # Get local machine name

port = 12345                # Reserve a port for your service.

s.bind(('', port))        # Bind to the port

s.listen(5)                 # Now wait for client connection.

c, addr = s.accept()     # Establish connection with client.

while True:

                  x = c.recv(2048)

                  print 'Got connection from', addr

                  rdata =jsonpickle.decode(x)

                  if not rdata:

                      break

                  print 'the pakt is:', rdata

I would suggest debugging this without the networking part.

This error looks like you're only reading 2048 bytes at a time, and
trying to decode that.

It really looks like the string is longer than that, and thus you're
trying to decode a partial / malformed string.

That's not going to work. You'll have to accumulate the complete
string on the receiving side before trying to decode it.
