Troubleshooting PubNub Python-Asyncio SDK

How to enable logging

import pubnub
import logging

pubnub.set_stream_logger('pubnub', logging.DEBUG)

How to find the version of your SDK

Access your SDK version via constant

from pubnub import PubNubAsyncio
PubNubAsyncio.SDK_VERSION

Error handling with future()

In case of future() calls errors will be wrapped out by either AsyncioEnvelope or PubNubAsyncioException which both implement two object fields:

  • e.result - a request result object in case of success, otherwise None
  • e.status - PNStatus object with useful information about the finished request. You may check if it was an error or a success using e.is_error() helper.

Future() usage

async def publish_future():
e = await pubnub.publish().channel("my_channel").message("hello!").future()
if e.is_error():
print("Error %s" % str(e))
print("Error category #%d" % e.status.category)
return
else:
print(str(e.result))

Error handling with result()

result() calls will return you just a result of the request without any state information. Errors should be caught using try/except blocks. For server-side errors a e.status field is populated to provide you more information about the request:

async def publish_result():
try:
result = await pubnub.publish().channel("my_channel").message("hello!").result()
print(str(result))
except PubNubException as e:
print("Error %s" % str(e))
if e.status is not None:
print("Error category #%d" % e.status.category)
