bad file descriptor when using __init__()

[pacmac]

I need to use an init function to initialize some variables and call a threaded function inside the simpleEcho class:

class SimpleEcho(WebSocket):

    def myfunc():
        do something...

    def __init__(self):
        self.varx = 1
        self.myfunc()

    def handleMessage(self):
       if self.data is None:
          self.data = ''........

But whenever I add the init the server fails with an "bad file descriptor error"

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "websock.py", line 75, in <module>
    server.serveforever()
  File "SimpleWebSocketServer.py", line 534, in serveforever
    rList, wList, xList = select(self.listeners, [], self.listeners, 1) 
select.error: (9, 'Bad file descriptor')

Hi, is there a solution for this ?

Many Thanks

Hi, You need to modify your init() constructor to take the same parameters as WebSocket then you have to make sure you call its init() function.

class SimpleEcho(WebSocket):

    def myfunc(self):
        do something...

    def __init__(self, server, sock, address):
        self.myfunc()
        WebSocket.__init__(self, server, sock, address)
