python socketserver连接数量限制_python中socketserver的一个疑问

书上代码如下：

一个基于sockerserver的小型服务器

from socketserver import TCPServer,StreamRequestHandler

class Handler(StreamRequestHandler):

def handle(self):

print(type(self.request))

addr = self.request.getpeername()

print('Got connection from ',addr)

self.wfile.write(b'thank you for connecting...')

server = TCPServer(('li-linfeng1',1234),Handler)

server.serve_forever()

我的问题是，Handler中的self.request为什么是一个socket对象呢？

self.request所在的类BaseRequestHandler源代码如下，从源代码中也看不出self.request是socket对象，求问是怎么知道这个self.request是socket对象，从而可以调用getpeername()方法的呢？

class BaseRequestHandler:

"""Base class for request handler classes.

This class is instantiated for each request to be handled. The

constructor sets the instance variables request, client_address

and server, and then calls the handle() method. To implement a

specific service, all you need to do is to derive a class which

defines a handle() method.

The handle() method can find the request as self.request, the

client address as self.client_address, and the server (in case it

needs access to per-server information) as self.server. Since a

separate instance is created for each request, the handle() method

can define arbitrary other instance variariables.

"""

def __init__(self, request, client_address, server):

self.request = request

self.client_address = client_address

self.server = server

self.setup()

try:

self.handle()

finally:

self.finish()

def setup(self):

pass

def handle(self):

pass

def finish(self):

pass
