PyDispatcher 2.0.6

Multi-Producer Multi-Consumer Observer Pattern for Python

PyDispatcher Multi-producer Multi-consumer Observables

PyDispatcher provides the Python programmer with a multiple-producer-multiple-consumer signal-registration and routing infrastructure for use in multiple contexts. The mechanism of PyDispatcher started life as a highly rated recipe in the Python Cookbook. The project aims to include various enhancements to the recipe developed during use in various applications. It is primarily maintained by Mike Fletcher. A derivative of the project provides the Django web framework's "signal" system.

Installation

PyDispatcher is available on PyPI via standard PIP:

pip install PyDispatcher

Usage

Documentation is available for detailed usage, but the basic idea is:

from pydispatch import dispatcher

metaKey = "moo"
MyNode = object()
event = {"sample": "event"}


def callback(event=None):
    """Handle signal being sent"""
    print("Signal received", event)


dispatcher.connect(callback, sender=MyNode, signal=metaKey)
dispatcher.send(metaKey, MyNode, event=event)
