Module: cogen.core
This module holds the essential stuff.
Programming with this library should be straghtforward. A coroutine is just a generator wrapped in a operation handling class:
@coroutine def mycoro(bla): yield <operation> yield <operation>
- the operation instructs the scheduler what to do with the coroutine: suspend it till someting happens, add another coro in the scheduler, raise a event and so on.
- the operations are split up in 2 modules: events and sockets
- the operations from sockets are related to network, like reading and writing, and these are done asynchronously but your code in the coroutine will see them as a regular synchronous or blocking call.
- the operations from events are related to signals and coroutine/scheduler management.
- if a operation has a result associated then the yield will return that result (eg. a string or a (connection, address) tuple) otherwise it will return the operation instance.
Typical example:
import sys, os from cogen.common import * @coroutine def server(): srv = sockets.Socket() srv.setblocking(0) srv.bind(('localhost',777)) srv.listen(10) while 1: print "Listening..." conn, addr = yield sockets.Accept(srv) print "Connection from %s:%s" % addr m.add(handler, conn, addr) @coroutine def handler(sock, addr): yield sockets.Write(sock, "WELCOME TO ECHO SERVER !\r\n") while 1: line = yield sockets.ReadLine(sock, 8192) if line.strip() == 'exit': yield sockets.Write(sock, "GOOD BYE") sock.close() return yield sockets.Write(sock, line) m = Scheduler() m.add(server) m.run()
Modules
coroutines
Coroutine related boilerplate and wrappers.
events
Base events (coroutine operations) and coroutine exceptions.
pubsub
queue
Port of Queue.Queue from the python standard library.
reactors
Network polling code.
schedulers
Scheduling framework.
sockets
Socket-only coroutine operations and Socket wrapper. Really - the only thing you need to know for most stuff is the Socket class.
util
Mischelaneous or common.
