下面是另一个需要考虑的模块。对于要求更高的应用程序，这似乎是一个可行的选择。

Py-notify is a Python package providing tools for implementing Observer programming pattern. These tools include signals, conditions and variables. Signals are lists of handlers that are called when signal is emitted. Conditions are basically boolean variables coupled with a signal that is emitted when condition state changes. They can be combined using standard logical operators (not, and, etc.) into compound conditions. Variables, unlike conditions, can hold any Python object, not just booleans, but they cannot be combined.

我使用zope.event。这是你能想象到的最简单的骨架。: -) 事实上，这里是完整的源代码:

subscribers = []

def notify(event):
    for subscriber in subscribers:
        subscriber(event)

例如，请注意不能在进程之间发送消息。它不是一个消息系统，只是一个事件系统，仅此而已。

如果你想做更复杂的事情，比如合并事件或重试，你可以使用Observable模式和一个成熟的库来实现它。https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxPY。可观察对象在Javascript和Java中非常常见，在一些异步任务中使用非常方便。

from rx import Observable, Observer


def push_five_strings(observer):
        observer.on_next("Alpha")
        observer.on_next("Beta")
        observer.on_next("Gamma")
        observer.on_next("Delta")
        observer.on_next("Epsilon")
        observer.on_completed()


class PrintObserver(Observer):

    def on_next(self, value):
        print("Received {0}".format(value))

    def on_completed(self):
        print("Done!")

    def on_error(self, error):
        print("Error Occurred: {0}".format(error))

source = Observable.create(push_five_strings)

source.subscribe(PrintObserver())

输出:

Received Alpha
Received Beta
Received Gamma
Received Delta
Received Epsilon
Done!

如果我在pyQt中做代码，我使用QT套接字/信号范式，django也是如此

如果我正在做异步I/O，我使用本机选择模块

如果我使用SAX python解析器，我使用SAX提供的事件API。所以看起来我是底层API的受害者:-)

也许你应该问问自己，你对事件框架/模块有什么期望。我个人倾向于使用qt中的Socket/Signal范例。更多关于这方面的信息可以在这里找到

我们使用Michael ford在他的事件模式中建议的EventHook:

只需添加EventHooks到你的类:

class MyBroadcaster()
    def __init__():
        self.onChange = EventHook()

theBroadcaster = MyBroadcaster()

# add a listener to the event
theBroadcaster.onChange += myFunction

# remove listener from the event
theBroadcaster.onChange -= myFunction

# fire event
theBroadcaster.onChange.fire()

我们添加了从对象中移除所有侦听器到Michaels类的功能，最终得到了这样的结果:

class EventHook(object):

    def __init__(self):
        self.__handlers = []

    def __iadd__(self, handler):
        self.__handlers.append(handler)
        return self

    def __isub__(self, handler):
        self.__handlers.remove(handler)
        return self

    def fire(self, *args, **keywargs):
        for handler in self.__handlers:
            handler(*args, **keywargs)

    def clearObjectHandlers(self, inObject):
        for theHandler in self.__handlers:
            if theHandler.im_self == inObject:
                self -= theHandler

我在《宝贵的课程》上找到了这个小脚本。它似乎具有我所追求的简单性/功率比。Peter Thatcher是以下代码的作者(未提及许可)。

class Event:
    def __init__(self):
        self.handlers = set()

    def handle(self, handler):
        self.handlers.add(handler)
        return self

    def unhandle(self, handler):
        try:
            self.handlers.remove(handler)
        except:
            raise ValueError("Handler is not handling this event, so cannot unhandle it.")
        return self

    def fire(self, *args, **kargs):
        for handler in self.handlers:
            handler(*args, **kargs)

    def getHandlerCount(self):
        return len(self.handlers)

    __iadd__ = handle
    __isub__ = unhandle
    __call__ = fire
    __len__  = getHandlerCount

class MockFileWatcher:
    def __init__(self):
        self.fileChanged = Event()

    def watchFiles(self):
        source_path = "foo"
        self.fileChanged(source_path)

def log_file_change(source_path):
    print "%r changed." % (source_path,)

def log_file_change2(source_path):
    print "%r changed!" % (source_path,)

watcher              = MockFileWatcher()
watcher.fileChanged += log_file_change2
watcher.fileChanged += log_file_change
watcher.fileChanged -= log_file_change2
watcher.watchFiles()
