Known Subclasses:

Hierarchy of classes for storing simulation events of various types.

Instance Methods

[hide private]

__init__(self, time)
x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for signature

source code

__call__(self, sim)
Cause some computation to be performed, deliver a message, etc., as appropriate for each subtype of Event.

source code

__cmp__(self, ev)
Implements event comparison by time, allowing sorting, and queue maintenance using bisect module or minheap implementations, if needed.

source code

Inherited from object: __delattr__, __getattribute__, __hash__, __new__, __reduce__, __reduce_ex__, __repr__, __setattr__, __str__

init(self, time)
(Constructor)

source code

x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for signature

Overrides: object.__init__: (inherited documentation)

call(self, sim)
(Call operator)

source code

Cause some computation to be performed, deliver a message, etc., as appropriate for each subtype of Event. Should be passed the simulation object, to allow access to .time() etc.

cmp(self, ev)
(Comparison operator)

source code

Implements event comparison by time, allowing sorting, and queue maintenance using bisect module or minheap implementations, if needed.

NOTE: identity comparisons should always be done using the 'is' operator, not '=='.
