Auto-reconnect in autobahn python

Question

In autobahn python, it seems like if my initial connection failed there's no way to tell, or any callbacks that I can override in my WampClientProtocol subclass. I tried overriding clientConnectionFailed, but it didn't get called when the connection failed.

The only output I get when the connection failed is

2013-09-29 22:17:50-0500 [Uninitialized] Stopping factory <autobahn.wamp.WampClientFactory instance at 0x20ee758>
2013-09-29 22:17:50-0500 [Uninitialized] WebSocketClientFactory stopped

Answer 1

Turns out this is not AutobahnPython specific - the Twisted way of handling this is overriding clientConnectionFailed (the initial connection already failed .. "host unreachable" and such) and/or clientConnectionLost (there once was a connection that got lost .. or closed regularily).
