minevent 0.5.0

Minimal event system for Machine Learning

minevent

Overview

minevent is a Python library that provides a minimal event system for Machine Learning. It allows to customize a code by adding some piece of code that are executed when an event is fired. minevent is organized around three main concepts:

• event which defines the thing that should happen.
• event handler which is the piece of code to execute when the event happens
• event manager which is responsible to manage the events and event handlers.

The library provides some implemented modules, but it is possible to extend it. It is possible to use all the components or just a subset based on the need. For example, an event handler can be used without the event manager.

Motivation

minevent provides a minimal event system to customize a piece of code without changing its implementation. Below is an example on how to use minevent library.

>>> from minevent import EventHandler, EventManager
>>> def say_something(manager: EventManager) -> None:
...     print("Hello, I am Bob!")
...     manager.trigger_event("after")
...
>>> manager = EventManager()
>>> say_something(manager)
Hello, I am Bob!
>>> def hello_handler() -> None:
...     print("Hello!")
...
>>> manager.add_event_handler("after", EventHandler(hello_handler))
>>> say_something(manager)
Hello, I am Bob!
Hello!

It allows to customize the function say_something without changing its implementation.

API stability

:warning: While minevent is in development stage, no API is guaranteed to be stable from one release to the next. In fact, it is very likely that the API will change multiple times before a stable 1.0.0 release. In practice, this means that upgrading minevent to a new version will possibly break any code that was using the old version of minevent.
