Resource management classes and functions.

Resource management classes and functions.

Latest release 20240412:

• RunState: new optional thread_wide=False parameter - if true, set this RunState as the Thread-wide default - this mode used by @uses_runstate, unsure about this default.
• RunState: new .iter(iterable) method which iterates while not RunState.cancelled.
• MultiOpenMixin: replace __mo_getstate() method with MultiOpenMixin_state property.
• RunState.init: make most parameters keyword only.

Class ClosedError(builtins.Exception)

Exception for operations invalid when something is closed.

Class MultiOpen(MultiOpenMixin)

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.

Method MultiOpen.shutdown(self): Close the associated openable object.

Method MultiOpen.startup(self): Open the associated openable object.

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 that 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()
        try:
            yield
        finally:
            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.

Property MultiOpenMixin.MultiOpenMixin_state: The state object for the mixin, something of a hack to avoid providing an __init__.

Method MultiOpenMixin.close(self, *, enforce_final_close=False, caller_frame=None, unopened_ok=False): Decrement the open count. If the count goes to zero, call self.shutdown() and return its value.

Parameters:

• enforce_final_close: if true, the caller expects this to be the final close for the object and a RuntimeError is raised if this is not actually the case.
• caller_frame: used for debugging; the caller may specify this if necessary, otherwise it is computed from cs.py.stack.caller when needed. Presently the caller of the final close is recorded to help debugging extra close calls.
• unopened_ok: if true, it is not an error if this is not open. This is intended for closing callbacks which might get called even if the original open never happened. (I'm looking at you, cs.resources.RunState.)

Property MultiOpenMixin.closed: Whether this object has been closed. Note: False if never opened.

Method MultiOpenMixin.is_open(self): Test whether this object is open.

Method MultiOpenMixin.is_opened(func): Decorator to wrap MultiOpenMixin proxy object methods which should raise if the object is not yet open.

Method MultiOpenMixin.join(self): Join this object.

Wait for the internal finalise Condition (if still not None). Normally this is notified at the end of the shutdown procedure unless the object's finalise_later parameter was true.

Method MultiOpenMixin.open(self, caller_frame=None): Increment the open count. On the first .open call self.startup().

Method MultiOpenMixin.startup_shutdown(self): Default context manager form of startup/shutdown - just call the distinct .startup() and .shutdown() methods if both are present, do nothing if neither is present.

This supports subclasses always using:

with super().startup_shutdown():

as an outer wrapper.

The .startup check is to support legacy subclasses of MultiOpenMixin which have separate startup() and shutdown() methods. The preferred approach is a single startup_shutdwn() context manager overriding this method.

The usual form looks like this:

@contextmanager
def startup_shutdown(self):
    with super().startup_shutdown():
        ... do some set up ...
        try:
            yield
        finally:
            ... do some tear down ...

Method MultiOpenMixin.tcm_get_state(self): Support method for TrackedClassMixin.

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

Method Pool.instance(self): Context manager returning an object for use, which is returned to the pool afterwards.

Class RunState(cs.threads.HasThreadState)

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.

Method RunState.__bool__(self): Return true if the task is running.

Method RunState.__enter_exit__(self): The __enter__/__exit__ generator function:

• push this RunState via HasThreadState
• catch signals
• start
• yield self => run
• cancel on exception during run
• stop

Note that if the RunState is already runnings we do not do any of that stuff apart from the yield self because we assume whatever setup should have been done has already been done. In particular, the HasThreadState.Thread factory calls this in the "running" state.

Method RunState.__nonzero__(self): Return true if the task is running.

Method RunState.cancel(self): Set the cancelled flag; the associated process should notice and stop.

Property RunState.cancelled: Test the .cancelled attribute, including a poll if supplied.

Method RunState.catch_signal(self, sig, call_previous=False, handle_signal=None): Context manager to catch the signal or signals sig and cancel this RunState. Restores the previous handlers on exit. Yield a mapping of sig=>old_handler.

Parameters:

• sig: an int signal number or an iterable of signal numbers
• call_previous: optional flag (default False) passed to cs.psutils.signal_handlers

Method RunState.end(self): Stop: adjust state, set stop_time to now. Sets sets .running to False.

Method RunState.handle_signal(self, sig, _): RunState signal handler: cancel the run state. Warn if self.verbose.

Method RunState.iter(self, it): Iterate over it while not self.cancelled.

RunState.perthread_state

Method RunState.raiseif(self, msg=None, *a): Raise CancellationError if cancelled. This is the concise way to terminate an operation which honour .cancelled if you're prepared to handle the exception.

Example:

for item in items:
    runstate.raiseif()
    ... process item ...

Property RunState.run_time: Property returning most recent run time (stop_time-start_time). If still running, use now as the stop time. If not started, return 0.0.

Property RunState.running: Property expressing whether the task is running.

Method RunState.start(self, running_ok=False): Start: adjust state, set start_time to now. Sets .cancelled to False and sets .running to True.

Method RunState.stop(self): Stop: adjust state, set stop_time to now. Sets sets .running to False.

Property RunState.stopped: Was the process stopped? Running is false and cancelled is true.

Property RunState.stopping: Is the process stopping? Running is true and cancelled is true.

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] = <function <lambda> at 0x104ae5d80>): 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.

Method RunStateMixin.cancel(self): Call .runstate.cancel().

Property RunStateMixin.cancelled: Test .runstate.cancelled.

Property RunStateMixin.running: Test .runstate.running.

Property RunStateMixin.stopped: Test .runstate.stopped.

Property RunStateMixin.stopping: Test .runstate.stopping.
