Goroutines and channels

go spawns a thread, or a coroutine if gevent was activated. It is possible to exchange data in between either threads or coroutines via channels. chan creates a new channel with Go semantic - either synchronous or buffered. Use chan.recv, chan.send and chan.close for communication. select can be used to multiplex on several channels. For example:

ch1 = chan()    # synchronous channel
ch2 = chan(3)   # channel with buffer of size 3

def _():
    ch1.send('a')
    ch2.send('b')
go(_)

ch1.recv()      # will give 'a'
ch2.recv_()     # will give ('b', True)

_, _rx = select(
    ch1.recv,           # 0
    ch2.recv_,          # 1
    (ch2.send, obj2),   # 2
    default,            # 3
)
if _ == 0:
    # _rx is what was received from ch1
    ...
if _ == 1:
    # _rx is (rx, ok) of what was received from ch2
    ...
if _ == 2:
    # we know obj2 was sent to ch2
    ...
if _ == 3:
    # default case
    ...

Methods

method decorator allows to define methods separate from class.

For example:

@method(MyClass)
def my_method(self, ...):
    ...

will define MyClass.my_method().

Import

gimport provides way to import python modules by full path in a Go workspace.

For example

lonet = gimport('lab.nexedi.com/kirr/go123/xnet/lonet')

will import either

• lab.nexedi.com/kirr/go123/xnet/lonet.py, or

• lab.nexedi.com/kirr/go123/xnet/lonet/__init__.py

located in src/ under $GOPATH.

0.0.0.dev4 (2018-07-04)

• Add py.bench program and golang.testing package with corresponding bits (commit).

  py.bench allows to benchmark python code similarly to go test -bench and py.test. For example, running py.bench on the following code:

  def bench_add(b):
      x, y = 1, 2
      for i in xrange(b.N):
          x + y

  gives something like:

  $ py.bench --count=3 x.py
  ...
  pymod: bench_add.py
  Benchmarkadd    50000000        0.020 µs/op
  Benchmarkadd    50000000        0.020 µs/op
  Benchmarkadd    50000000        0.020 µs/op

0.0.0.dev3 (2018-07-02)

• Support both Python2 and Python3; qq now does not escape printable UTF-8 characters. (commit 1, 2, 3).

• golang/x/perf/benchlib: New module to load & work with data in Go benchmark format (commit).

0.0.0.dev2 (2018-06-20)

• Turn into full pygolang: go, chan, select, method and gcompat.qq are provided in addition to gimport (commit). The implementation is not very fast, but should be working correctly including select - select sends for synchronous channels.

0.0.0.dev1 (2018-05-21)

• Initial release; gimport functionality only (commit).
