Inherited from `ClientFactory`:

Method | `clientConnectionFailed` | Called when a connection has failed to connect.
Method | `startedConnecting` | Called when a connection has been started.

def __init__(self, protocol): (source)

Undocumented

def buildProtocol(self, addr): (source)
from `twisted.internet.interfaces.IProtocolFactory`
overrides `twisted.internet.protocol.Factory.buildProtocol`

Create an instance of a subclass of Protocol.

The returned instance will handle input on an incoming server connection, and an attribute "factory" pointing to the creating factory.

Alternatively, `None` may be returned to immediately close the new connection.

Override this method to alter how Protocol instances get created.

Parameters
addr | an object implementing `IAddress`

def clientConnectionLost(self, connector, reason): (source)
overrides `twisted.internet.protocol.ClientFactory.clientConnectionLost`

Called when an established connection is lost.

It may be useful to call connector.connect() - this will reconnect.
