Kamaelia.Chassis.Carousel.Carousel

For examples and more explanations, see the module level docs.

class Carousel(Axon.Component.component)

Carousel(componentFactory,[make1stRequest]) -> new Carousel component

Create a Carousel component that makes child components one at a time (in carousel fashion) using the supplied factory function.

Keyword arguments:

componentFactory -- function that takes a single argument and returns a component
make1stRequest -- if True, Carousel will send an initial "NEXT" request. (default=False)

Inboxes

control :
inbox : child's inbox
next : requests to replace child

Outboxes

outbox : child's outbox
signal :
_signal : internal use: for sending 'shutdownMicroprocess' to child
requestNext : for requesting new child component

Methods defined here

Warning!

You should be using the inbox/outbox interface, not these methods (except construction). This documentation is designed as a roadmap as to their functionalilty for maintainers and new component developers.

init(self, componentFactory[, make1stRequest])

x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for signature

checkControl(self)

handleChildTerminations(self)

Unplugs any children that have terminated

instantiateNewChild(self, args)

main(self)

requestNext(self)

Sends 'next' out the 'requestNext' outbox

shutdownChild(self, shutdownMsg)
