class EventLoop:
- r"""EventLoop(file[, handler]) -> EventLoop instance
+ r"""EventLoop(file[, handler[, signals]]]) -> EventLoop.
This class implements a simple event loop based on select module.
It "listens" to activity a single 'file' object (a file, a pipe,
function (or the handle() method if you prefer subclassing) every
time the file is ready for reading (or has an error).
+ 'signals' is a dictionary with signals to be handled by the loop,
+ where keys are signal numbers and values are callbacks (which takes
+ 2 arguments, first the event loop that captured the signal, and then
+ the captured signal number). Callbacks can be None if all signals
+ are handled by the handle_signal() member function.
+
This is a really simple example of usage using a hanlder callable:
- >>> import os
+ >>> import os
>>> def handle(event_loop):
data = os.read(event_loop.fileno, 100)
os.write(1, 'Received message: %r\n' % data)
>>> class Test(EventLoop):
>>> def handle(self):
>>> data = os.read(self.fileno, 100)
- >>> if data == 'q\n':
- >>> self.stop()
- >>> else:
- >>> os.write(1, 'Received message: %r\n' % data)
- >>> p = Test(0)
+ >>> os.write(1, 'Received message: %r\n' % data)
+ >>> def handle_signal(self, signum):
+ >>> os.write(1, 'Signal %d received, stopping\n' % signum)
+ >>> self.stop()
+ >>> p = Test(0, signals={signal.SIGTERM: None, signal.SIGINT: None})
>>> p.loop()
- This example loops until the user enters a single "q", when stop()
- is called and the event loop is exited.
+ This example loops until the user enter interrupts the program (by
+ pressing Ctrl-C) or untile the program is terminated by a TERM signal
+ (kill) when stop() is called and the event loop is exited.
