This package contains EventLoop implementations for various well known event loops. The EventLoop interface is currently being defined in PEP3156 1 and the "Tulip" project2.
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 thepyuvpackage is found.PySideEventLoop. This loop will be avaialble if thePySidepackage is found.
You can set a default loop for the current thread using set_event_loop().
