composition of events?

[ssle...@vmware.com]

Any way to initialize an event with a list of events. Then fire that off on a remote Node?

Remote Node then fires off each of the provided events?

[James Mills]

Good question. I don't think we thought of this particular use-case;

however I believe it could be useful.

What's your specific use-case here?

cheers

I want to create an RPC server with some set of fundamental operations implemented by Events. Then I want to create a Sequence wrapper event that will take a generic series of Events, execute them one by one and return (or in a loop, or whatever). So: enabling on-the-fly workflows through events.

Hmm my advice at this point since I'm not quite clear on what you're trying to achieve... Is to try it out yourself and see how well it works :) Distributed eventing is not so trivial and I've re-implemented circuits.node myself in autodock[1] without merging any improvements/changed so far.

I don't think it's terribly hard to achieve what you've described though; but also feel free to write up an Issue[2] that clearly describe what you're after and your goal :)

cheers

Okay will try. I ran into one issue:

e = SequenceEvent(childEvent("test param"))

r = remote(e, "remoteTestNode")

self.fire(r)

It errored while trying to serialize the child event. Any thoughts on a workaround?

[James Mills]

Probably something special about your child event subclass.

Can you pickle..dumps() it correctly? If not that's where the problem *may* lie. Although (without looking a the circuits.node code) I'm uncertain as to whether we use pickle or json here; But there are two things you can look at!

Let me know :)

Okay let me play around -- I appreciate your attention.

Thanks

[James Mills]

No problems! I'll be able to look into this a bit more when I finish work :)

For now see if you can work out what's going on there

and please do feel free to file an issue syou find against our issue tracker

as we'll be releasing circuits-3.2.1 very soon!
