Resource management classes and functions.

Latest release 20240316: Fixed release upload artifacts.

Class ClosedError(builtins.Exception, builtins.BaseException)

Exception for operations invalid when something is closed.

Class MultiOpen(MultiOpenMixin, cs.context.ContextManagerMixin)

Context manager class that manages a single open/close object using a MultiOpenMixin.

Method MultiOpen.__init__(self, openable, finalise_later=False): Initialise: save the openable and call the MultiOpenMixin initialiser.

Class MultiOpenMixin(cs.context.ContextManagerMixin)

A multithread safe mixin to count open and close calls, doing a startup on the first .open and shutdown on the last .close.

If used as a context manager this mixin calls open()/close() from __enter__() and __exit__().

It is recommended subclass implementations do as little as possible during __init__, and do almost all setup during startup so that the class may perform multiple startup/shutdown iterations.

Classes using this mixin should define a context manager method .startup_shutdown which does the startup actions before yielding and then does the shutdown actions.

Example:

class DatabaseThing(MultiOpenMixin):
    @contextmanager
    def startup_shutdown(self):
        self._db = open_the_database()
        yield
        self._db.close()
...
with DatabaseThing(...) as db_thing:
    ... use db_thing ...

If course, often something like a database open will itself be a context manager and the startup_shutdown method more usually looks like this:

    @contextmanager
    def startup_shutdown(self):
        with open_the_database() as db:
            self._db = db
            yield

Why not just write a plain context manager class? Because in multithreaded or async code one wants to keep the instance "open" while any thread is still using it. This mixin lets threads use an instance in overlapping fashion:

db_thing = DatabaseThing(...)
with db_thing:
    ... kick off threads with access to the db ...
...
thread 1:
with db_thing:
   ... use db_thing ...
thread 2:
with db_thing:
   ... use db_thing ...

TODO:

• subopens: if true (default false) then .open will return a proxy object with its own .closed attribute set by the proxy's .close.

Function not_closed(func)

Decorator to wrap methods of objects with a .closed property which should raise when self.closed.

Function openif(obj)

Context manager to open obj if it has a .open method and also to close it via its .close method. This yields obj.open() if defined, or obj otherwise.

Class Pool

A generic pool of objects on the premise that reuse is cheaper than recreation.

All the pool objects must be suitable for use, so the new_object callable will typically be a closure. For example, here is the init for a per-thread AWS Bucket using a distinct Session:

def __init__(self, bucket_name):
    Pool.__init__(self, lambda: boto3.session.Session().resource('s3').Bucket(bucket_name)

Method Pool.__init__(self, new_object, max_size=None, lock=None): Initialise the Pool with creator new_object and maximum size max_size.

Parameters:

• new_object is a callable which returns a new object for the Pool.
• max_size: The maximum size of the pool of available objects saved for reuse. If omitted or None, defaults to 4. If 0, no upper limit is applied.
• lock: optional shared Lock; if omitted or None a new Lock is allocated

Class RunState(cs.threads.HasThreadState, cs.context.ContextManagerMixin)

A class to track a running task whose cancellation may be requested.

Its purpose is twofold, to provide easily queriable state around tasks which can start and stop, and to provide control methods to pronounce that a task has started (.start), should stop (.cancel) and has stopped (.stop).

A RunState can be used as a context manager, with the enter and exit methods calling .start and .stop respectively. Note that if the suite raises an exception then the exit method also calls .cancel before the call to .stop.

Monitor or daemon processes can poll the RunState to see when they should terminate, and may also manage the overall state easily using a context manager. Example:

def monitor(self):
    with self.runstate:
        while not self.runstate.cancelled:
            ... main loop body here ...

A RunState has three main methods:

• .start(): set .running and clear .cancelled
• .cancel(): set .cancelled
• .stop(): clear .running

A RunState has the following properties:

• cancelled: true if .cancel has been called.
• running: true if the task is running. Further, assigning a true value to it sets .start_time to now. Assigning a false value to it sets .stop_time to now.
• start_time: the time .running was last set to true.
• stop_time: the time .running was last set to false.
• run_time: max(0,.stop_time-.start_time)
• stopped: true if the task is not running.
• stopping: true if the task is running but has been cancelled.
• notify_start: a set of callables called with the RunState instance to be called whenever .running becomes true.
• notify_end: a set of callables called with the RunState instance to be called whenever .running becomes false.
• notify_cancel: a set of callables called with the RunState instance to be called whenever .cancel is called.

Class RunStateMixin

Mixin to provide convenient access to a RunState.

Provides: .runstate, .cancelled, .running, .stopping, .stopped.

Method RunStateMixin.__init__(self, runstate: Union[cs.resources.RunState, str, NoneType]): Initialise the RunStateMixin; sets the .runstate attribute.

Parameters:

• runstate: optional RunState instance or name. If a str, a new RunState with that name is allocated. If omitted, the default RunState is used.

Release 20221228:

• Get error,warning from cs.gimmicks.
• RunState: get store verbose as self.verbose, drop from catch_signals.

Release 20221118:

• New RunState.current thread local stackable class attribute.

• RunState: new optional handle_signal parameter to override the default method.
• New openif() context manager to open/close an object if it has a .open method.

Release 20220429: RunState: new catch_signal(sig,verbose=False) context manager method to cancel the RunState on receipt of a signal.

Release 20211208:

Release 20201025: MultiOpenMixin.__mo_getstate: dereference self.dict because using AttributeError was pulling a state object from another instance, utterly weird.

Release 20200718: MultiOpenMixin: as a hack to avoid having an init, move state into an on demand object accesses by a private method.
