This package contains EventLoop
implementations for various well known
event loops. The EventLoop
interface is currently being defined in PEP3156
[1] and the "Tulip" project [2].
Curently supported event loops are:
- libuv (via pyuv)
- Qt (via PySide)
This package supports Python 2.6, Python 2.7 and Python 3.2+.
The event loops only implement the callback interface, so e.g. add_reader()
and friends, the call_soon()
timer related functions, and the
add_signal_handler()
signal related functions. The other parts of the event
loop interface require tulip.Future
which in turn depends on the yield
from
statement. This is Python 3.3+ and is not supported in looping.
The looping
package defines two event loops:
PyUVEventLoop
. This loop will be available if thepyuv
package is found.PySideEventLoop
. This loop will be avaialble if thePySide
package is found.
You can set a default loop for the current thread using set_event_loop()
.
