*this* set of patches is Ka-Ping's final sweep: The attached patches update the standard library so that all modules have docstrings beginning with one-line summaries. A new docstring was added to formatter. The docstring for os.py was updated to mention nt, os2, ce in addition to posix, dos, mac.

"""A generally useful event scheduler class.
|
|
|
|
Each instance of this class manages its own queue.
|
|
No multi-threading is implied; you are supposed to hack that
|
|
yourself, or use a single instance per application.
|
|
|
|
Each instance is parametrized with two functions, one that is
|
|
supposed to return the current time, one that is supposed to
|
|
implement a delay. You can implement real-time scheduling by
|
|
substituting time and sleep from built-in module time, or you can
|
|
implement simulated time by writing your own functions. This can
|
|
also be used to integrate scheduling with STDWIN events; the delay
|
|
function is allowed to modify the queue. Time can be expressed as
|
|
integers or floating point numbers, as long as it is consistent.
|
|
|
|
Events are specified by tuples (time, priority, action, argument).
|
|
As in UNIX, lower priority numbers mean higher priority; in this
|
|
way the queue can be maintained fully sorted. Execution of the
|
|
event means calling the action function, passing it the argument.
|
|
Remember that in Python, multiple function arguments can be packed
|
|
in a tuple. The action function may be an instance method so it
|
|
has another way to reference private data (besides global variables).
|
|
Parameterless functions or methods cannot be used, however.
|
|

# XXX the global state of your particular time and delay functions.
