Class EPConnectionEvent

An Event for delivery to an EPConnection.

Provides access to a data field, which can be used for anything the src wants to provide, and a link to the connection over which it has arrived, so that the dest can determine what to do with the data.

By default, the data is deepcopied before being added to this instance for safety (e.g. so that future changes to data structures do not affect messages arriving from the past). However, if you can ensure that the copying is not necessary (e.g. if you deepcoy before sending a set of identical messages), then you can pass deep_copy=False to avoid the copy.
