new(self, *args, **kargs)

source code

Replacement method for implementing the singleton design pattern.

Overrides: object.__new__

_get_backend(self, uf)

source code

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)

source code

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)

source code

Determine if the interpreter thread queue is empty.

This is a wrapper method for the thread method.

exit(self)

source code

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

This is a wrapper method for the thread method.

flush(self)

source code

Return only once the queue is empty.

This is a wrapper method for the interpreter thread.

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

source code

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.
