x2go.session module

X2GoSession class - a public API of Python X2Go, handling standalone X2Go sessions.

This class is normally embedded into the context of an x2go.client.X2GoClient instance, but it is also possible to address an x2go.session.X2GoSession directly via this class.

To launch a session manually from the Python interactive shell, perform these simple steps:

Bases: object

Public API class for launching X2Go sessions. Recommended is to manage X2Go sessions from within an x2go.client.X2GoClient instance. However, Python X2Go is designed in a way that it also allows the management of singel x2go.session.X2GoSession instance.

Thus, you can use the x2go.session.X2GoSession class to manually set up X2Go sessions without x2go.client.X2GoClient context (session registry, session list cache, auto-registration of new sessions etc.).

bool

Raises

X2GoSessionException – if the session could not be terminated

unset_master_session()[source]

Declare this as a non-master session of a connection channel.

unshare_all_local_folders(force_all=False, update_exported_folders=True)[source]

Unshare all local folders mounted within this X2Go session.

Parameters
  • force_all (bool) – Really unmount _all_ shared folders, including the print spool folder and the MIME box spool dir (not recommended). (Default value = False)

  • update_exported_folders (bool) – do an update of the session profile option ,,export’’ after the operation (Default value = True)

Returns

returns True if all local folders could be successfully unmounted inside this X2Go session

Return type

bool

Raises

X2GoSessionException – if this x2go.session.X2GoSession does not have an associated terminal session

unshare_local_folder(local_path=None, update_exported_folders=True)[source]

Unshare a local folder that is mounted within this X2Go session.

Parameters
  • local_path (str) – the full path to an existing folder on the local file system that is mounted in this X2Go session and shall be unmounted (Default value = None)

  • update_exported_folders (bool) – do an update of the session profile option ,,export’’ after the operation (Default value = True)

Returns

returns True if all local folders could be successfully unmounted inside this X2Go session

Return type

bool

Raises

X2GoSessionException – if this x2go.session.X2GoSession does not have an associated terminal session

update_params(params)[source]

This method can be used to modify x2go.session.X2GoSession parameters after the x2go.session.X2GoSession instance has already been initialized.

Parameters

params (dict) – a Python dictionary with x2go.session.X2GoSession parameters

update_status(session_list=None, force_update=False)[source]

Update the current session status. The x2go.session.X2GoSession instance uses an internal session status cache that allows to query the session status without the need of retrieving data from the remote X2Go server for each query.

The session status (if initialized properly with the x2go.client.X2GoClient constructor gets updated in regularly intervals.

In case you use the x2go.session.X2GoSession class in standalone instances (that is: without being embedded into an x2go.session.X2GoSession context) then run this method in regular intervals to make sure the x2go.session.X2GoSession’s internal status cache information is always up-to-date.

Parameters
  • session_list (X2GoServerSessionList* instance) – provide an X2GoServerSessionList* that refers to X2Go sessions we want to update. This option is mainly for reducing server/client traffic. (Default value = None)

  • force_update (bool) – force a session status update, if if the last update is less then 1 second ago (Default value = False)

Raises

Exception – any exception is passed through in case the session disconnected surprisingly or has been marked as faulty

user_is_x2gouser(username=None)[source]

Check if a given user is valid server-side X2Go user.

Parameters

username (str) – username to check validity for (Default value = None)

Returns

True if the username is allowed to launch X2Go sessions

Return type

bool

uses_sshproxy()[source]

Check if a session is configured to use an intermediate SSH proxy server.

Returns

returns True if the session is configured to use an SSH proxy, False otherwise.

Return type

bool
