In python, I am using the following:
context = zmq.Context()
socket = context.socket(zmq.PUSH)
socket.bind_to_random_port('tcp://*', min_port=6001, max_port=6004, max_tries=100)
port_selected = socket.???????
How do I know what port is chosen? I will have a look up table in redis for the workers to read.
I am using a push pull model. I need to let workers know what ports to connect to.
I have to do this because I am using the gevent loop in uwsgi and specifying a a plain blind thows and error becuase of a fork. If a use bind_to_random_port then a port is seleced, I just dont know which.
