python-banyan 3.1

A Non-Blocking Event Driven Applications Framework

The Python Banyan Framework

The Python Banyan Framework is a lightweight, reactive framework used to create flexible, non-blocking, event driven, asynchronous applications. It was designed primarily to aid in the implementation of real-time physical computing applications for devices such as the Raspberry Pi, ESP8266, and Arduino, but may easily be applied to projects outside of the physical programming domain.

It is being used by Palace Games to concurrently monitor hundreds of real-time sensors and actuators.

• Based on a network connected Publish/Subscribe model, Banyan components publish user defined protocol messages in the form of Python dictionaries.
• A Banyan protocol message may contain Numpy data.
• Applications may reside on a single computer or be distributed across multiple computers without having to change source code.
• Compatible Banyan Frameworks are available for JavaScript, Ruby, and Java. Components written in any of these languages can interact with components of a differing language without modification.
• Runs on Python 2 or Python 3 (recommended).

New Features Introduced in 3.0

• An MQTT Gateway to interconnect MQTT and Banyan networks so that data may be shared.
• A new "learn by example" User's Guide is provided.
• A component launcher that will allows you to launch Banyan components on a single computer or multiple computers, all from a single command.
