Olivier Deprezf4ef2d02021-04-20 13:36:24 +02001"""A generally useful event scheduler class.
2
3Each instance of this class manages its own queue.
4No multi-threading is implied; you are supposed to hack that
5yourself, or use a single instance per application.
6
7Each instance is parametrized with two functions, one that is
8supposed to return the current time, one that is supposed to
9implement a delay. You can implement real-time scheduling by
10substituting time and sleep from built-in module time, or you can
11implement simulated time by writing your own functions. This can
12also be used to integrate scheduling with STDWIN events; the delay
13function is allowed to modify the queue. Time can be expressed as
14integers or floating point numbers, as long as it is consistent.
15
16Events are specified by tuples (time, priority, action, argument, kwargs).
17As in UNIX, lower priority numbers mean higher priority; in this
18way the queue can be maintained as a priority queue. Execution of the
19event means calling the action function, passing it the argument
20sequence in "argument" (remember that in Python, multiple function
21arguments are be packed in a sequence) and keyword parameters in "kwargs".
22The action function may be an instance method so it
23has another way to reference private data (besides global variables).

109
110 When there is a positive delay until the first event, the
111 delay function is called and the event is left in the queue;
112 otherwise, the event is removed from the queue and executed
113 (its action function is called, passing it the argument). If
114 the delay function returns prematurely, it is simply
115 restarted.
116
117 It is legal for both the delay function and the action
118 function to modify the queue or to raise an exception;
119 exceptions are not caught but the scheduler's state remains
120 well-defined so run() may be called again.
121
122 A questionable hack is added to allow other threads to run:
123 just after an event is executed, a delay of 0 is executed, to
124 avoid monopolizing the CPU when other threads are also
