Question: where is _pyroClaimOwnership after Pyro5.api.expose?

[jamesbraza]

Let's say I have a minimal API:

import Pyro5.api

@Pyro5.api.expose
class Foo:
    pass

foo = Foo()

I am trying to use _pyroClaimOwnership() on foo above, but am getting an AttributeError:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\path\to\venv\lib\site-packages\IPython\core\interactiveshell.py", line 3442, in run_code
    exec(code_obj, self.user_global_ns, self.user_ns)
  File "<ipython-input-1-8faed6eb39a3>", line 1, in <module>
    foo._pyroClaimOwnership()
AttributeError: 'Foo' object has no attribute '_pyroClaimOwnership'

How do exposed API's call _pyroClaimOwnership()?

_pyroClaimOwnership is a method on a proxy, not on a Pyro server object.
Look at various examples that use it, but mainly the "threadproxysharing" example.

Hi @irmen thank you for the response! Just a brief follow up question, and fyi I am coming from this issue where I am trying to interact with an OpcDaClient (Pyro5.api.expose) on multiple threads.

Is there some way to hand ownership of a Pyro server object to another thread? Thank you in advance for your help if you can provide any further guidance.

@jamesbraza There is no concept of exclusive server object ownership in Pyro5 natively. Server object instance(s) - or rather, preferably, classes - are made available to be called concurrently by whatever client can create a proper proxy to call it. If you want to somehow limit the concurrency on objects, you have to control it using the behavior decorator on the server object, and/or roll your own client/server "pair" protocol somehow perhaps.

I've talked about this a bit more in replies to other past issues for instance here - see there for some relevant doc links

and be sure to study the "instancemode" and "usersession" examples, amongst others
