Source code for grass.pydispatch.dispatcher

"""Multiple-producer-multiple-consumer signal-dispatching

dispatcher is the core of the PyDispatcher system,
providing the primary API and the core logic for the
system.

Module attributes of note:

    Any -- Singleton used to signal either "Any Sender" or
        "Any Signal".  See documentation of the _Any class.
    Anonymous -- Singleton used to signal "Anonymous Sender"
        See documentation of the _Anonymous class.

Internal attributes:
    WEAKREF_TYPES -- tuple of types/classes which represent
        weak references to receivers, and thus must be de-
        referenced on retrieval to retrieve the callable
        object
    connections -- { senderkey (id) : { signal : [receivers...]}}
    senders -- { senderkey (id) : weakref(sender) }
        used for cleaning up sender references on sender
        deletion
    sendersBack -- { receiverkey (id) : [senderkey (id)...] }
        used for cleaning up receiver references on receiver
        deletion, (considerably speeds up the cleanup process
        vs. the original code.)

    will only receive messages sent without senders.  Sending
    with anonymous will only send messages to those receivers

        The default sender for connect is Any, while the
        default sender for send is Anonymous.  This has
        the effect that if you do not specify any senders
        in either function then all messages are routed
        as though there was a single sender (Anonymous)
        being used everywhere.

Receivers are fairly flexible in their specification, as the machinery in the robustApply module takes care of most of the details regarding figuring out appropriate subsets of the sent arguments to apply to a given receiver. Note: if receiver is itself a weak reference (a callable), it will be de-referenced by the system's machinery, so *generally* weak references are not suitable as receivers, though some use might be found for the facility whereby a higher-level library passes in pre-weakrefed receiver references. signal -- the signal to which the receiver should respond if Any, receiver will receive any signal from the indicated sender (which might also be Any, but is not necessarily Any).
