pyeventbus
=========================

:target: https://travis-ci.org/n89nanda/pyeventbus

pyeventbus is a publish/subscribe event bus for Python 2.7.

+ simplifies the communication between python classes
+ decouples event senders and receivers
+ performs well threads, greenlets, queues and concurrent processes
+ avoids complex and error-prone dependencies and life cycle issues
+ makes code simpler
+ has advanced features like delivery threads, workers and spawning different processes, etc.
+ is tiny (3KB archive)

pyeventbus in 3 steps:

1. Define events::

class MessageEvent:
# Additional fields and methods if needed
def __init__(self):
pass

2. Prepare subscribers: Declare and annotate your subscribing method, optionally specify a thread mode::

from pyeventbus import *

@subscribe(onEvent=MessageEvent)
def func(self, event):
# Do something
pass


Register your subscriber. For example, if you want to register a class in Python::

from pyeventbus import *

class MyClass:
def __init__(self):
pass

def register(self, myclass):
PyBus.Instance().register(myclass, self.__class__.__name__)

# then during initilization

myclass = MyClass()
myclass.register(myclass)

3. Post events::

from pyeventbus import *

class MyClass:
def __init__(self):
pass

def register(self, myclass):
PyBus.Instance().register(myclass, self.__class__.__name__)

def postingAnEvent(self):
PyBus.Instance().post(MessageEvent())

myclass = MyClass()
myclass.register(myclass)
myclass.postingAnEvent()

Modes: pyeventbus can run the subscribing methods in 5 different modes

1. POSTING::

Runs the method in the same thread as posted. For example, if an event is posted from main thread, the subscribing method also runs in the main thread. If an event is posted in a seperate thread, the subscribing method runs in the same seperate method

This is the default mode, if no mode has been provided::

@subscribe(threadMode = Mode.POSTING, onEvent=MessageEvent)
def func(self, event):
# Do something
pass

2. PARALLEL::

Runs the method in a seperate python thread::

@subscribe(threadMode = Mode.PARALLEL, onEvent=MessageEvent)
def func(self, event):
# Do something
pass

3. GREENLET::

Runs the method in a greenlet using gevent library::

@subscribe(threadMode = Mode.GREENLET, onEvent=MessageEvent)
def func(self, event):
# Do something
pass

4. BACKGROUND::

Adds the subscribing methods to a queue which is executed by workers::

@subscribe(threadMode = Mode.BACKGROUND, onEvent=MessageEvent)
def func(self, event):
# Do something
pass

3. CONCURRENT::

Runs the method in a seperate python process::

@subscribe(threadMode = Mode.CONCURRENT, onEvent=MessageEvent)
def func(self, event):
# Do something
pass



Adding pyeventbus to your project::

pip install pyeventbus


Example::

git clone https://github.com/n89nanda/pyeventbus.git

cd pyeventbus

virtualenv venv

source venv/bin/activate

pip install pyeventbus

python example.py

Benchmarks and Performance::


Refer /pyeventbus/tests/benchmarks.txt for performance benchmarks on CPU, I/O and networks heavy tasks.

Run /pyeventbus/tests/test.sh to generate the same benchmarks.

Performance comparison between all the modes with Python and Cython
