[issue20854] multiprocessing.managers.Server: problem with returning proxy of registered object

[Richard Oudkerk]

Richard Oudkerk added the comment:

I am not sure method_to_typeid and create_method were really intended to be public -- they are only used by Pool proxies.

You can maybe work around the problem by registering a second typeid without specifying callable.  That can be used in method_to_typeid:

import multiprocessing.managers

class MyClass(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self._children = {}
    def get_child(self, i):
        return self._children.setdefault(i, type(self)())
    def __repr__(self):
        return '<MyClass %r>' % self._children

class MyManager(multiprocessing.managers.BaseManager):
    pass

MyManager.register('MyClass', MyClass,
                   method_to_typeid = {'get_child': '_MyClass'})
MyManager.register('_MyClass',
                   method_to_typeid = {'get_child': '_MyClass'},
                   create_method=False)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    m = MyManager()
    m.start()
    try:
        a = m.MyClass()
        b = a.get_child(1)
        c = b.get_child(2)
        d = c.get_child(3)
        print a  # <MyClass {1: <MyClass {2: <MyClass {3: <MyClass {}>}>}>}>
    finally:
        m.shutdown()
