A python port of the Node js EventEmitter

EventEmitter

A Python implementation of the Node.js EventEmitter class.

Features

• Register event listeners using the on and once methods
• Remove event listeners using the off method
• Remove all event listeners for a specific event or for all events using the remove_all_listeners method
• Get a list of all event listeners for a specific event using the listeners method
• Trigger events using the emit method

Installation

To install the EventEmitter class:

pip install git+https://github.com/meatbag93/pyEventEmitter

Usage

To use the EventEmitter class, create an instance of it and then use the on, once, and emit methods to register event listeners and trigger events:

from event_emitter import EventEmitter

emitter = EventEmitter()

# Register an event listener using the on method
def event_handler(arg1, arg2):
    print(f'event_name triggered with arguments: {arg1}, {arg2}')
emitter.on('event_name', event_handler)

# Register an event listener using the once method
def event_handler_once(arg1, arg2):
    print(f'event_name triggered once with arguments: {arg1}, {arg2}')
emitter.once('event_name', event_handler_once)

# Trigger the event
emitter.emit('event_name', 'arg1 value', 'arg2 value')
emitter.emit('event_name', 'arg1 value', 'arg2 value')

More methods are available. They all have proper docstrings.
