door 0.0.4

A comprehensive python library for synchronization proxies

Door is a comprehensive python library for synchronization proxies. Door’s reliability has been established through static type checking, extensive doctests, and unit tests, achieving 93% code coverage.

Features

• Share objects across processes without queues or pipes.

• Synchronization proxies to enforce sound synchronous data access.

  • Supported scenarios:

    • Threading;

    • Multiprocessing;

    • Asynchronous programming.

• Shared lock (Readers-writer lock) implementations.

• Shared condition variable (Readers-writer condition variables) implementations.

Installation

pip install door

Usage

Below shows a sample usage of Door.

>>> from dataclasses import dataclass
>>> from multiprocessing import Process
>>> from door.multiprocessing2 import Handle, SAcquirableDoor
>>> @dataclass
... class Resource:
...     key: str = 'value'
...
>>> handle = Handle(Resource())
>>> handle.get()
Resource(key='value')
>>> door = SAcquirableDoor(handle)
>>> def func(door):
...     with door.write() as proxy:
...         proxy.key = 'VALUE'
...
>>> process = Process(target=func, args=(door,))
>>> process.start()
>>> process.join()
>>> handle.get()
Resource(key='VALUE')
>>> handle.unlink()

Testing and Validation

Door has extensive test coverage, passes mypy static type checking with strict parameter, and has been validated through extensive use in real-life scenarios.
