pyee supplies an EventEmitter object similar to the EventEmitter from Node.js.

In [1]: from pyee import EventEmitter

In [2]: ee = EventEmitter()

In [3]: @ee.on('event')
   ...: def event_handler():
   ...:     print 'BANG BANG'
   ...:

In [4]: ee.emit('event')
BANG BANG

In [5]:

Easy-peasy.

sudo pip install pyee

ee.on(event, f=None): Registers the function f to the event name event. Example:

ee.on('data', some_fxn)

If f is not specified, ee.on returns a function that takes f as a callback, which allows for decorator styles:

@ee.on('data')
def data_handler(data):
    print data

ee.emit(event, *args,kwargs)*: Emits the event, calling the attached functions with ``args. For example:: ee.emit('data', '00101001') This will calldata('00101001')'(assumingdatais an attached function). ReturnsFalseif no functions are attached to handle the emission (otherwiseTrue). **ee.once(event, f=None)**: The same asee.on, except that the listener is automatically removed after it's called. **ee.remove_listener(event, fxn)**: Removes the functionfxnfromevent. Requires that the function is not closed over byee.on(using this with the decorator style is unfortunately not possible). **ee.remove_all_listeners(event)**: Removes all listeners fromevent. **ee.listeners(event)**: Returns the array of all listeners registered to the givenevent``.

(Special) Events: -------

"new_listener": Fires whenever a new listener is created. Listeners for this event do not fire upon their own creation.

"error": When emitted raises an Exception by default, behavior can be overriden by attaching callback to the event. For example:

@ee.on('error')
def onError(message):
    logging.err(message)

ee.emit('error', Exception('something blew up'))
