Module wx.lib.pubsub

This module provides a publish-subscribe component that allows listeners to subcribe to messages of a given topic. Contrary to the original wxPython.lib.pubsub module (which it is based on), it uses weak referencing to the subscribers so the lifetime of subscribers is not affected by Publisher. Also, callable objects can be used in addition to functions and bound methods. See Publisher class docs for more details.

Thanks to Robb Shecter and Robin Dunn for having provided the basis for this module (which now shares most of the concepts but very little design or implementation with the original wxPython.lib.pubsub).

The publisher is a singleton instance of the PublisherClass class. You access the instance via the Publisher object available from the module:

from wx.lib.pubsub import Publisher
Publisher().subscribe(...)
Publisher().sendMessage(...)
...
