- class gvm.connections.DebugConnection#
Wrapper around a connection for debugging purposes
Allows to debug the connection flow including send and read data. Internally it uses the python logging framework to create debug messages. Please take a look at the logging tutorial for further details.
Usage example:
import logging logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG) socketconnection = UnixSocketConnection(path='/var/run/gvm.sock') connection = DebugConnection(socketconnection) gmp = Gmp(connection=connection)
- Parameters:
connection – GvmConnection to observe
- __init__(connection)#
