Specifications for callback functions passed in to an API
|
|
|
|
If your code lets other people supply callback functions, it's important to
|
|
specify the function signature you expect, and check that functions support that.
|
|
Adding extra parameters later would break other peoples code unless you're careful.
|
|
|
|
backcall provides a way of specifying the callback signature using a prototype
|
|
function::
|
|
|
|
from backcall import callback_prototype
|
|
|
|
@callback_prototype
|
|
def handle_ping(sender, delay=None):
|
|
# Specify positional parameters without a default, and keyword
|
|
# parameters with a default.
|
|
pass
|
|
|
|
def register_ping_handler(callback):
|
|
# This checks and adapts the function passed in:
|
|
callback = handle_ping.adapt(callback)
|
|
ping_callbacks.append(callback)
|
|
|
|
If the callback takes fewer parameters than your prototype, *backcall* will wrap
|
|
it in a function that discards the extra arguments. If the callback expects
|
|
more arguments, a TypeError is thrown when it is registered.

|
|
the `Demo notebook <http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/takluyver/backcall/blob/master/Demo.ipynb>`_.
|
|
|
|
The tests are run with `pytest <http://pytest.org/latest/>`_. In the root directory,
|
|
execute::
|
|
|
|
py.test
