pseudoservice 0.1.0

PseudoService
A simple threaded task launcher that emulates unix service-unit style behavior.
Introduction
PseudoService is a simple scheduled threading task manager for Python applications. It provides a convenient way to manage tasks in a threaded environment.
Usage
To use PseudoService, follow these steps:

Import the Launcher class from the pseudoservice module.
Define your tasks as a dictionary where each key represents a task name and each value is a dictionary specifying the task details.
Initialize an instance of Launcher with your tasks.
Start the tasks using the start_tasks() method.

Example Usage
from pseudoservice import Launcher
import mytask_1
import mytask_2
import mytask_3

# Define tasks
tasks = {
'My first task': { # A task that will restart if the thread is closed.
'task': mytask_1,
'restart': True
},
'My second task': { # A task with arguments that will run once and then close.
'task': mytask_2,
'args': [var_1, var_2, var_3]
},
'My third task': { # A task with arguments and keyword arguments that will restart if the thread is closed.
'task': mytask_3,
'args': [var_1, var_2],
'kwargs': {'varname_1': var_1, 'varname_2': var_2},
'restart': True
},
}

# Initialize and start tasks
task_launcher = Launcher(tasks)
task_launcher.start_tasks()

Launcher Class
Launcher(tasks: dict)

Initialize the Launcher class with a dictionary of tasks.
Methods
start_tasks(): Launches the threaded tasks.
Task Configuration
Each task is defined by a dictionary with the following keys:


task: Required. Specifies the task to be executed.


args: Optional. Arguments to be passed to the task function.


kwargs: Optional. Keyword arguments to be passed to the task function.


restart: Optional. Specifies whether the task should restart if the thread is closed.


delay: Optional. Specifies the delay (in seconds) between successive executions of the task.
Notes


Tasks are executed in separate threads.


The Launcher class handles task scheduling and thread management.


Initialization
PseudoService can be installed from pip.
pip install pseudoservice
