mediator 0.4.0

Defining events

from mediator import Event


class EventOne(Event):
    pass


class EventTwo(Event):
    event_name = 'event_two'

Adding a listener

def event_listener(event):
    print('Got event: %r' % event)

m.add_listener(EventOne, event_listener)
# or m.add_listener('EventOne', event_listener)
m.add_listener('event_two', event_listener)
# or m.add_listener(EventTwo, event_listener)

Triggering events

event1 = EventOne()
event2 = EventTwo()

m.dispatch(event1)
# Got event: <EventOne object at 0x7f954bc2b250>

m.dispatch(event2)
# Got event: <EventTwo object at 0x7f954bbbd510>

Removing a listener

def another_listener(event):
    print('Got another event: %r' % event)

m.add_listener(EventOne, another_listener)
m.remove_listener('EventOne', event_listener)
m.dispatch(event1)
# Got another event: <EventOne object at 0x7f954bc2b250>

Removing all listeners

m.remove_listener('EventOne')
m.dispatch(event1)
# Nothing was happened

Using priorities

m.add_listener('EventOne', another_listener, -255)
m.add_listener('EventOne', event_listener, 255)
m.dispatch(event1)
# Got another event: <EventOne object at 0x7f954bc2b250>
# Got event: <EventOne object at 0x7f954bc2b250>

Using Subscribers

from mediator import SubscriberInterface


class Subscriber(SubscriberInterface):
    def first(self, event):
        event.first = True

    def middle(self, event):
        event.middle = True

    def last(self, event):
        event.last = True

    def event2_handler(self, event):
        event.success = True

    def event3_handler(self, event):
        event.success = True

    def get_subscribed_events(self):
        return {
            'event1': [
                ['middle'],
                ['first', -100],
                ['last', 100]
            ],
            'event2': 'event2_handler',
            'event3': ['event3_handler']
        }

class Event1(Event):
    event_name = 'event1'

    def __init__(self):
         self.first = False
         self.middle = False
         self.last = False

class Event2(Event):
    event_name = 'event2'

     def __init__(self):
         self.success = True

class Event3(Event2):
    event_name = 'event3'

subscriber = Subscriber()
event1 = Event1()
event2 = Event2()
event3 = Event3()

m.add_subscriber(subscriber)

m.dispatch(event1)
print('%s;%s;%s' % (event1.first, event1.middle, event1.last))
# True;True;True

m.dispatch(event2)
print(event2.success)
# True

m.dispatch(event3)
print(event3.success)
# True

Adding listeners using decorator

import sys
import venusian

from mediator import VENUSIAN_CATEGORY


@SomeEvent.listen(priority=255, instance='mediator', category=VENUSIAN_CATEGORY)  # All args are optional
def some_event_listener(event):
    event.attr = 'value'

scanner = venusian.Scanner(mediator=mediator)
scanner.scan(package=sys.modules[__name__], categories=[VENUSIAN_CATEGORY])
m.dispatch(SomeEvent())

See source code and tests for more information.
