**Introduction**

Gramps is devided into two parts. The database code, that does not
require any particular GUI libraries, and the gtk-based UI code
that requires gtk and gnome libraries. The gtk-based code can use
the gobject signal support to manage callback signals but the database
code can not.

The module provides a subset of the signal mechanisms that are available
from the gobject framework. It enables the database code to use signals
to communicate events to any callback methods in either the database code
or the UI code.

[docs]class Callback(object): """ Callback and signal support objects. **Declaring signals** Classes that want to emit signals need to inherit from the DBCallback class and ensure that its :meth:`__init__` method is called. They then need to declare the signals that they can emit and the types of each callbacks arguments. For example:: class TestSignals(Callback): __signals__ = { 'test-signal' : (int, ), 'test-noarg' : None } def __init__(self): Callback.__init__(self) The type signature is a tuple of types or classes. The type checking code uses the isinstance method to check that the argument passed to the emit call is an instance of the type in the signature declaration. If the signal does not have an argument use None as the signature. The signals will be inherited by any subclasses. Duplicate signal names in subclasses are not alowed. **Emitting signals** Signals are emitted using the emit method. e.g.:: def emit_signal(self): self.emit('test-signal', (1, )) The parameters are passed as a tuple so a single parameter must be passed as a 1 element tuple. **Connecting callbacks to signals** Attaching a callback to the signals is similar to the gtk connect methods. e.g.:: # connect to a function. def fn(i): print 'got signal value = ', i t = TestSignals() t.connect('test-signal', fn) # connect to a bound method class C(object): def cb_func(self, i): print 'got class signal = ', 1 r = R() t.connect('test-signal', r.cb_func) **Disconnecting callbacks** If you want to disconnect a callback from a signals you must remember the key returned from the connect call. This key can be passed to the disconnect method to remove the callback from the signals callback list. e.g.:: t = TestSignals() # connect to a bound method class C(object): def cb_func(self, i): print 'got class signal = ', 1 r = R() key = t.connect('test-signal', r.cb_func) ... t.disconnect(key) **Stopping and starting signals** Signals can be blocked on a per instance bassis or they can be blocked for all instances of the Callback class. :meth:`disable_signals` can be used to block the signals for a single instance and :meth:`disable_all_signals` can be used to block signals for the class: e.g.:: class TestSignals(Callback): __signals__ = { 'test-signal' : (int, ), 'test-noarg' : None } def __init__(self): Callback.__init__(self) def emit_signal(self): self.emit('test-signal', (1, )) t = TestSignals() # block signals from instance t t.disable_signals() ... # unblock t.enable_signals() # block all signals Callback.disable_all_signals() ... # unblock all signals Callback.enable_all_signals() Any signals emitted whilst signals are blocked will be lost. **Debugging signal callbacks** To help with debugging the signals and callbacks you can turn on lots of logging information. To switch on logging for a single instance call :meth:`enable_logging`, to switch it off again call :meth:`disable_logging`. To switch on logging for all instance you can toggle Callback.__LOG_ALL to True. """ # If this True no signals will be emitted from any instance of # any class derived from this class.
