"""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, kwargs). | |
As in UNIX, lower priority numbers mean higher priority; in this | |
way the queue can be maintained as a priority queue. Execution of the | |
event means calling the action function, passing it the argument | |
sequence in "argument" (remember that in Python, multiple function | |
arguments are be packed in a sequence) and keyword parameters in "kwargs". | |
The action function may be an instance method so it | |
has another way to reference private data (besides global variables). | |

If blocking is False executes the scheduled events due to | |
expire soonest (if any) and then return the deadline of the | |
next scheduled call in the scheduler. | |
When there is a positive delay until the first event, the | |
delay function is called and the event is left in the queue; | |
otherwise, the event is removed from the queue and executed | |
(its action function is called, passing it the argument). If | |
the delay function returns prematurely, it is simply | |
restarted. | |
It is legal for both the delay function and the action | |
function to modify the queue or to raise an exception; | |
exceptions are not caught but the scheduler's state remains | |
well-defined so run() may be called again. | |
A questionable hack is added to allow other threads to run: | |
just after an event is executed, a delay of 0 is executed, to | |
avoid monopolizing the CPU when other threads are also | |
runnable. | |
