"""
This module provides a publish-subscribe mechanism that allows one part 
of your application to send a "message" and many other parts to receive 
it, without any knowledge of each other. This helps decouple 
modules of your application. 

Receivers are referred to as "listeners", having subscribed to messages 
of a specific "topic". Sending a message is as simple as calling a 
function with a topic name and (optionally) some data that will be sent 
to the listeners.  

Any callable object can be a listener, if it can be called with one 
parameter. Topic names form a hierarchy. Example use::
 
    from wx.lib.pubsub import Publisher as pub
    def aCallable(msg):
        print 'data received', msg.data
    pub.subscribe(aCallable, 'some.topic')
    pub.sendMessage('some.topic', data=123)
    // should see 'data received 123'
    
An important feature of pubsub is that it does not affect callables' 
lifetime: as soon as a listener is no longer in use in your application 
except for being subscribed to pubsub topics, the Python interpreter 
will be able to garbage collect it and pubsub will automatically 
unsubscribe it. See Publisher class docs for more details. 

The version of pubsub in wx.lib is referred to as "pubsub 1". Thanks 
to Robb Shecter and Robin Dunn for having provided its basis pre-2004
and for offering that I take over its maintenance. Pubsub has since 
evolved into a separate package called PyPubSub hosted on SourceForge
(http://pubsub.sourceforge.net), aka "pubsub 3". It has better support 
for message data via keyword arguments, notifications for calls into
pubsub, exception trapping for listeners, and topic tree documentation.

Implementation notes
--------------------

In class Publisher, I represent the topics-listener set as a tree
where each node is a topic, and contains a list of listeners of that
topic, and a dictionary of subtopics of that topic. When the Publisher
is told to send a message for a given topic, it traverses the tree
down to the topic for which a message is being generated, all
listeners on the way get sent the message.

Publisher currently uses a weak listener topic tree to store the
topics for each listener, and if a listener dies before being
unsubscribed, the tree is notified, and the tree eliminates the
listener from itself.

Ideally, _TopicTreeNode would be a generic _TreeNode with named
subnodes, and _TopicTreeRoot would be a generic _Tree with named
nodes, and Publisher would store listeners in each node and a topic
tuple would be converted to a path in the tree.  This would lead to a
much cleaner separation of concerns. But time is over, time to move on.

class PublisherClass:
    """
    The publish/subscribe manager.  It keeps track of which listeners
    are interested in which topics (see subscribe()), and sends a
    Message for a given topic to listeners that have subscribed to
    that topic, with optional user data (see sendMessage()).
    
    The three important concepts for Publisher are:
        
    - listener: a function, bound method or
      callable object that can be called with one parameter
      (not counting 'self' in the case of methods). The parameter
      will be a reference to a Message object. E.g., these listeners
      are ok::
          
          class Foo:
              def __call__(self, a, b=1): pass # can be called with only one arg
              def meth(self,  a):         pass # takes only one arg
              def meth2(self, a=2, b=''): pass # can be called with one arg
        
          def func(a, b=''): pass
          
          Foo foo
          Publisher().subscribe(foo)           # functor
          Publisher().subscribe(foo.meth)      # bound method
          Publisher().subscribe(foo.meth2)     # bound method
          Publisher().subscribe(func)          # function
          
      The three types of callables all have arguments that allow a call 
      with only one argument. In every case, the parameter 'a' will contain
      the message. 

    - topic: a single word, a tuple of words, or a string containing a
      set of words separated by dots, for example: 'sports.baseball'.
      A tuple or a dotted notation string denotes a hierarchy of
      topics from most general to least. For example, a listener of
      this topic::

          ('sports','baseball')

      would receive messages for these topics::

          ('sports', 'baseball')                 # because same
          ('sports', 'baseball', 'highscores')   # because more specific

      but not these::

           'sports'      # because more general
          ('sports',)    # because more general
          () or ('')     # because only for those listening to 'all' topics
          ('news')       # because different topic
          
    - message: this is an instance of Message, containing the topic for 
      which the message was sent, and any data the sender specified. 
      
    :note: This class is visible to importers of pubsub only as a
           Singleton. I.e., every time you execute 'Publisher()', it's
           actually the same instance of PublisherClass that is
           returned. So to use, just do'Publisher().method()'.

        Subscribe listener for given topic. If topic is not specified,
        listener will be subscribed for all topics (that listener will 
        receive a Message for any topic for which a message is generated). 
        
        This method may be called multiple times for one listener,
        registering it with many topics.  It can also be invoked many
        times for a particular topic, each time with a different
        listener.  See the class doc for requirements on listener and
        topic.

        :note: The listener is held by Publisher() only by *weak*
               reference.  This means you must ensure you have at
               least one strong reference to listener, otherwise it
               will be DOA ("dead on arrival"). This is particularly
               easy to forget when wrapping a listener method in a
               proxy object (e.g. to bind some of its parameters),
               e.g.::
        
                  class Foo: 
                      def listener(self, event): pass

                      def __init__(self, fun): self.fun = fun
                      def __call__(self, *args): self.fun(*args)
                  foo = Foo()
                  Publisher().subscribe( Wrapper(foo.listener) ) # whoops: DOA!
                  wrapper = Wrapper(foo.listener)
                  Publisher().subscribe(wrapper) # good!
        
        :note: Calling this method for the same listener, with two
               topics in the same branch of the topic hierarchy, will
               cause the listener to be notified twice when a message
               for the deepest topic is sent. E.g.
               subscribe(listener, 't1') and then subscribe(listener,
               ('t1','t2')) means that when calling sendMessage('t1'),
               listener gets one message, but when calling
               sendMessage(('t1','t2')), listener gets message twice.
