pybitmessage.network.connectionpool module

BMConnectionPool class definition

class BMConnectionPool

Bases: object

Pool of all existing connections

trustedPeer = None

If the trustedpeer option is specified in keys.dat then this will contain a Peer which will be connected to instead of using the addresses advertised by other peers.

The expected use case is where the user has a trusted server where they run a Bitmessage daemon permanently. If they then run a second instance of the client on a local machine periodically when they want to check for messages it will sync with the network a lot faster without compromising security.

connections()

Shortcut for combined list of connections from inboundConnections and outboundConnections dicts
