Class Interpreter

The threaded interpreter.

Instance Methods

func _get_backend(self, uf)
Return the user function object corresponding to the given string.

bool apply(self, uf, *args, **kwds)
Apply a user function for synchronous execution.

empty(self)
Determine if the interpreter thread queue is empty.

exit(self)
Cause the thread to exit once all currently queued user functions are processed.

flush(self)
Return only once the queue is empty.

join(self)
Wrapper method for the Queue.join() method.

bool queue(self, uf, *args, **kwds)
Queue up a user function.

Static Methods

a new object with type S, a subtype of T __new__(self, *args, **kargs)
Replacement method for implementing the singleton design pattern.

Method Details

__new__(self, *args, **kargs)
Static Method

Replacement method for implementing the singleton design pattern.

Returns: a new object with type S, a subtype of T

Overrides: object.__new__

_get_backend(self, uf)

Return the user function object corresponding to the given string.

Parameters:

• uf (str) - The name of the user function.

Returns: func

The user function object.

apply(self, uf, *args, **kwds)

Apply a user function for synchronous execution.

Parameters:

• uf (str) - The user function as a string.
• args (any arguments) - The user function arguments.
• kwds (any keyword arguments) - The user function keyword arguments.

Returns: bool

Whether the user function was successfully applied or not.

empty(self)

Determine if the interpreter thread queue is empty.

This is a wrapper method for the thread method.

exit(self)

Cause the thread to exit once all currently queued user functions are processed.

This is a wrapper method for the thread method.

flush(self)

Return only once the queue is empty.

This is a wrapper method for the interpreter thread.

queue(self, uf, *args, **kwds)

Queue up a user function.

This is a wrapper method for the interpreter thread.

Parameters:

• uf (str) - The user function as a string.
• args (any arguments) - The user function arguments.
• kwds (any keyword arguments) - The user function keyword arguments.

Returns: bool

Whether the user function was successfully applied or not (though as this is asynchronous, this cannot be checked so True will always be returned.
