Event Emitter (asyncio)

Super simple event emitter in Python 3, built with asyncio. No decorators required. Built around a subset of the NodeJS EventEmitter API.

A full write up and explanation for how this module works can be found here.

Installation

pip install event_emitter_asyncio

Usage (Working example)

import asyncio

from event_emitter_asyncio.EventEmitter import EventEmitter
event_emitter = EventEmitter()

async def run():
  # add a listener
  async def func(event):
    for pet in event['pets']:
      print(pet)
  event_emitter.add_listener('some-event', func)

  # emit an event every second for 3 seconds
  n = 0
  while n < 3:
    event_data = { 'pets': ['cats', 'dogs'] }
    event_emitter.emit('some-event', event_data)
    await asyncio.sleep(1)
    n += 1

  # remove the listener
  event_emitter.remove_listener('some-event', func)

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(run())

This will give:

> cats
> dogs
> cats
> dogs
> cats
> dogs
