bovine-pubsub 0.3.0

A Quart Redis thing to handle pubsub tasks in particular the event source

bovine_pubsub

bovine_pubsub is a simple wrapper to enable server sent events in bovine. These are used to communicate real time with clients without forcing them to use polling. If multiple workers are used with bovine, one needs to use Redis as the implementation with queues only works for a single process.

Usage

The simplest usage example is given by

from quart import Quart
from bovine_pubsub import BovinePubSub

app = Quart(__name__)
BovinePubSub(app)

it adds the config variable app.config["bovine_pub_sub"] to the Quart application. By calling

await app.config["bovine_pub_sub"].send("channel:test", b"test")

one sends the bytes b"test" to the channel channel:test. By calling

pub_sub.event_stream("channel:test")

one receives an async iterator that can be used as server sent events.

Example usage

A usage example is provided by examples/basic_app.py. By running

python examples/basic.app

one can start a server that sends "test" 10 times a new socket is opened on localhost:5000. The above implementation will use the local queues. To use with Redis start

BOVINE_REDIS=redis://localhost:6379 python examples/basic_app.py 

with an appropriate value for the environment variable BOVINE_REDIS.
