--- | ---
buildProtocol doStart doStop startFactory stopFactory
| buildProtocol
    buildProtocol ( self,  addr )
### Create an instance of a subclass of Protocol. The returned instance will handle input on an incoming server connection, and an attribute "factory" pointing to the creating factory. Override this method to alter how Protocol instances get created.
| doStart
    doStart ( self )
Make sure startFactory is called.
| doStop
    doStop ( self )
Make sure stopFactory is called.
| startFactory
    startFactory ( self )
### This will be called before I begin listening on a Port or Connector. It will only be called once, even if the factory is connected to multiple ports. This can be used to perform `unserialization` tasks that are best put off until things are actually running, such as connecting to a database, opening files, etcetera.
| stopFactory
    stopFactory ( self )
### This will be called before I stop listening on all Ports/Connectors. This can be used to perform `shutdown` tasks such as disconnecting database connections, closing files, etc. It will be called, for example, before an application shuts down, if it was connected to a port.
