Event-driven architecture

[anwars99]

Hi,

Is there an easy way to incorporate events into Spring Python (i.e. in process not just using JMS) ?

If you are thinking about the type of events that Spring Java supports through the container, then no, we haven't implemented that yet.

As a side note, I've already had someone suggest we need a Spring Python Integration module. Again, time is our biggest limitation.

An idea I've been thinking of lately is to have an in-process message broker, something that would allow for following constructs:

# (pseudo code, not yet implemented)

# module 1
from springpython import broker

def callback(event):
    # process event
    pass

broker.sub("MessageName", callback)

# module 2
from springpython import broker

class MyEventData(object):
    def __init__(self, foo, bar):
        self.foo = foo
        self.bar = bar

event1 = MyEventData(1, 2)
event2 = MyEventData(1, 2)

# module1's callback will now receive those two events
broker.pub("MessageName", event1)
broker.pub("MessageName", event2)

anwars99, is that what you meant? What sort of an event-driven architecture would you like to see?
