Short Example

Module Definition
Let's start a new project first by creating a new directory:

> ls
main.py
modules/
    module1/__init__.py
    module2/__init__.py
    module1/__init__.py

Let's define a simple module, modules/module1/__init__.py:

def main(state, event):
    print("main event called by module1")

def register(mf):
    mf.register_event('main', main, unique=False)

Let's define another module, modules/module2/__init__.py:

def main(state, event):
    print("main event called by module2")
    print("it uses a variable var:", state["var"])

def register(mf):
    mf.register_defaults({
        "var": 42
    })
    mf.register_event('main', main, unique=False)

Our main.py looks like this:

import miniflask

# initialize miniflask
mf = miniflask.init(".modules")
mf.run()

Usage:
Now, we can use our program in the following ways:

> python main.py
There is nothing to do.

> python main.py module1
main event called by module1

> python main.py module2,module1
main event called by module2
it uses a variable var: 42
main event called by module1

> python main.py module2,module1 --module2.var 9001
main event called by module2
it uses a variable var: 9001
main event called by module1
