[17:21] < westymatt> the Axon.Ipc class, that is just handling communication for the mailboxes not actual named pipes right?

[17:33] < vmlemon_> Hu

[17:33] < vmlemon_> *Hi

[17:33] < vmlemon_> Even

[18:22] *** MS- has joined #kamaelia

[18:22] < MS-> evening

[18:23] < MS-> Reading log,

[18:23] < MS-> Re Axon.Ipc - that was a file named very early on. What it contains is control messages which are sent between from signal to control mailboxes

[18:23] < MS-> Which means it's not actual named pipes

[18:24] < MS-> Axon.Box contains the actual implementation of the mailboxes themselves for Axon.Components

[18:24] < MS-> Unlike a mini-axon, real axon has 2 actual forms for normal mailboxes

[18:25] < MS-> 1 is a null box - which is the default outbox until linked somewhere - which acts like /dev/null until linked

[18:25] < MS-> That form is called a nullsink

[18:26] < MS-> The actual storage is "owned" by inboxes, and is called a realsink

[18:26] < MS-> which is implemented as a normal python list, since the update is guaranteed in this case as threadsafe

[18:26] < MS-> There's actually a fair amount of information on what actually happens there and why in the docs for that file, which we take some care to make accessible via

[18:27] < MS-> pydoc Axon.Box

[18:27] < MS-> Similarly pydoc Axon.Ipc has some docs on those messages

[18:28] < MS-> Indeed, with almost any Axon or Kamaelia file, doing pydoc module_name - will generally contain lots of docs

[18:29] < MS-> The exception to this tends to be application specific modules

[18:30] < MS-> Contrast pydoc Kamaelia.Chassis.Graphline

[18:30] < MS-> with pydoc Kamaelia.Apps.Whiteboard.Canvas

[18:31] < MS-> But slowly apps modules tend to grow module docs as well, to encourage component scavenging & consolidation eg: pydoc Kamaelia.Apps.Grey.MailHandler

[18:41] < MS-> First large batch of Europython videos now up, transcoded and available as flash here:

[18:42] < MS-> http://europython09.blip.tv/

[18:42] < MS-> Includes some tutorials long talks, keynotes, lightning talks, etc
