cs-queues 20190812

some Queue subclasses and ducktypes

Release 20190812: _QueueIterator: do MultiOpenMixin.init so that str is functional.

Queue-like items: iterable queues and channels.

Class Channel

A zero-storage data passage. Unlike a Queue(1), put() blocks waiting for the matching get().

Function IterablePriorityQueue(capacity=0, name=None, *args, **kw)

Factory to create an iterable PriorityQueue.

Function IterableQueue(capacity=0, name=None, *args, **kw)

Factory to create an iterable Queue.

Class NullQueue

MRO: cs.resources.MultiOpenMixin
A queue-like object that discards its inputs. Calls to .get() raise Queue_Empty.

Method NullQueue.__init__(self, blocking=False, name=None)

Initialise the NullQueue.

Parameters:

• blocking: if true, calls to .get() block until .shutdown(). Default: False.
• name: a name for this NullQueue.

Class PushQueue

MRO: cs.resources.MultiOpenMixin
A puttable object which looks like an iterable Queue.

Calling .put(item) calls func_push supplied at initialisation to trigger a function on data arrival, whose processing is mediated queued via a Later for delivery to the output queue.

Method PushQueue.__init__(self, name, functor, outQ)

Initialise the PushQueue with the Later L, the callable functor and the output queue outQ.

Parameters:

• functor is a one-to-many function which accepts a single item of input and returns an iterable of outputs; it may be a generator. These outputs are passed to outQ.put individually as received.
• outQ is a MultiOpenMixin which accepts via its .put() method.

Class TimerQueue

Class to run a lot of "in the future" jobs without using a bazillion Timer threads.
