0001 """A generally useful event scheduler class.
0002 
0003 Each instance of this class manages its own queue.
0004 No multi-threading is implied; you are supposed to hack that
0005 yourself, or use a single instance per application.
0006 
0007 Each instance is parametrized with two functions, one that is
0008 supposed to return the current time, one that is supposed to
0009 implement a delay.  You can implement real-time scheduling by
0010 substituting time and sleep from built-in module time, or you can
0011 implement simulated time by writing your own functions.  This can
0012 also be used to integrate scheduling with STDWIN events; the delay
0013 function is allowed to modify the queue.  Time can be expressed as
0014 integers or floating point numbers, as long as it is consistent.
0015 
0016 Events are specified by tuples (time, priority, action, argument).
0017 As in UNIX, lower priority numbers mean higher priority; in this
0018 way the queue can be maintained fully sorted.  Execution of the
0019 event means calling the action function, passing it the argument.
0020 Remember that in Python, multiple function arguments can be packed
0021 in a tuple.   The action function may be an instance method so it
0022 has another way to reference private data (besides global variables).
0023 Parameterless functions or methods cannot be used, however.
