Simple actor model implementation for PyQt, inspired by thespian, but much simpler.
Actors:
- have local state
- receive messages
- are able to create new actors
- are able to send messages to other actors
Any class with an act method as shown below can be an actor. Here's a simple actor which keeps track of how many times it's been sent a message, and tells the sum actor its count.
class Counter:
def __init__(self):
self.count = 0
def act(self, msg, tell, create):
self.count += 1
tell('sum', self.count)
See example.py for a working example.
