Sources

To make your own source, create a Reader class with the following interface.

class MyReader(object):
    """
    MyReader returns count instances of data.
    """
    def __init__(self, data="hello world\n", count=10):
        self.data = data
        self.count = count

    def read(self, amt):
        """
        read(amt) returns $amt of data and a boolean indicating EOF.
        """
        if not amt:
            amt = self.count
        r = self.data * min(amt, self.count)
        self.count -= amt
        return r, self.count <= 0

The important thing to remember is that your read function should return an iterable of units of data, not a single piece of data. Then wrap your reader in the loving embrace of MakeSourceFactory.

from tubing import sources

MySource = sources.MakeSourceFactory(MyReader)

Now it can be used in a apparatus!

from __future__ import print_function

from tubing import tubes
sink = MySource(data="goodbye cruel world!", count=1) \
     | tubes.Joined(by=b"\n") \
     | sinks.Bytes()

print(sinks.result)
# Output: goodbye cruel world!

Tubes

Making your own tube is a lot more fun, trust me. First make a Transformer.

class OptimusPrime(object):
    def transform(self, chunk):
        return list(reversed(chunk))

chunk is an iterable with a len() of whatever type of data the stream is working with. In Transformers, you don’t need to worry about buffer size or closing or exception, just transform an iterable to another iterable. There are lots of examples in tubes.py.

Next give Optimus Prime a hug.

from tubing import tubes

AllMixedUp = tubes.MakeTranformerTubeFactory(OptimusPrime)

Ready to mix up some data?

from __future__ import print_function

import json
from tubing import sources, sinks

objs = [{"number": i} for i in range(0, 10)]

sink = sources.Objects(objs) \
     | AllMixedUp(chunk_size=2) \
     | sinks.Objects()

print(json.dumps(sink))
# Output: [{"number": 1}, {"number": 0}, {"number": 3}, {"number": 2}, {"number": 5}, {"number": 4}, {"number": 7}, {"number": 6}, {"number": 9}, {"number": 8}]

Sinks

Really getting tired of making documentation… Maybe I’ll finish later. I have real work to do.

Well.. I’m this far, let’s just push through.

from __future__ import print_function
from tubing import sources, tubes, sinks

class StdoutWriter(object):
    def write(self, chunk):
        for part in chunk:
            print(part)

    def close(self):
        # this function is optional
        print("That's all folks!")

    def abort(self):
        # this is also optional
        print("Something terrible has occurred.")

Debugger = sinks.MakeSinkFactory(StdoutWriter)

objs = [{"number": i} for i in range(0, 10)]

sink = sources.Objects(objs) \
     | AllMixedUp(chunk_size=2) \
     | tubes.JSONSerializer() \
     | tubes.Joined(by=b"\n") \
     | Debugger()
# Output:
#{"number": 1}
#{"number": 0}
#{"number": 3}
#{"number": 2}
#{"number": 5}
#{"number": 4}
#{"number": 7}
#{"number": 6}
#{"number": 9}
#{"number": 8}
#That's all folks!
