sigx

Async in-memory topic-pattern signal exchange

Preamble

blinker is the old pro when it comes to signal exchange in a python program, but it does not have topic-pattern subscriptions.

This package solves the topic-pattern issue with an efficient/performant topic-pattern subscription interface with indexing for performance so that topic patterns are compared to each topic only once.

Documentation consists of what you see here and the docs in the code.
