Convert event handler module to python module
dekarrin opened this issue · comments
The event handler module, located in src/event/handler.{hpp,cpp}, is responsible for setting up synchronization primitives and allowing handlers to indicate when they are ready to be interrupted.
We may want to attempt to research a suitable replacement for this system in the future (such as asyncio or another such framework), but for now we will keep the older system for compatibility as we get through the python re-write.
A/C: Event handler and synchronization object have been converted to new python module.
By saying "keep the older system for compatibility" does that mean the initial rewrite will use threads?
@jghibiki yes, we are currently planning on staying with just plain ol' python threading, the GIL-limited one.
That said, if you were interested in presenting an alternative solution, I'd sure be interested in hearing it.
I can work something up and present a demo in a PR.
