"""Multiple-producer-multiple-consumer signal-dispatching
dispatcher is the core of the PyDispatcher system,
providing the primary API and the core logic for the
system.
Module attributes of note:
Any -- Singleton used to signal either "Any Sender" or
"Any Signal". See documentation of the _Any class.
Anonymous -- Singleton used to signal "Anonymous Sender"
See documentation of the _Anonymous class.
Internal attributes:
WEAKREF_TYPES -- tuple of types/classes which represent
weak references to receivers, and thus must be de-
referenced on retrieval to retrieve the callable
object
connections -- { senderkey (id) : { signal : [receivers...]}}
senders -- { senderkey (id) : weakref(sender) }
used for cleaning up sender references on sender
deletion
sendersBack -- { receiverkey (id) : [senderkey (id)...] }
used for cleaning up receiver references on receiver
deletion, (considerably speeds up the cleanup process
vs. the original code.)

messages/signals/events. Receivers must be hashable
objects.
if weak is True, then receiver must be weak-referencable
(more precisely saferef.safeRef() must be able to create
a reference to the receiver).
Receivers are fairly flexible in their specification,
as the machinery in the robustApply module takes care
of most of the details regarding figuring out appropriate
subsets of the sent arguments to apply to a given
receiver.
Note:
if receiver is itself a weak reference (a callable),
it will be de-referenced by the system's machinery,
so *generally* weak references are not suitable as
receivers, though some use might be found for the
facility whereby a higher-level library passes in
pre-weakrefed receiver references.
signal -- the signal to which the receiver should respond
if Any, receiver will receive any signal from the
indicated sender (which might also be Any, but is not
necessarily Any).
Otherwise must be a hashable Python object other than
None (DispatcherError raised on None).
sender -- the sender to which the receiver should respond
if Any, receiver will receive the indicated signals
from any sender.
if Anonymous, receiver will only receive indicated
signals from send/sendExact which do not specify a
sender, or specify Anonymous explicitly as the sender.
Otherwise can be any python object.

By default, the module will attempt to use weak
references to the receiver objects. If this parameter
is false, then strong references will be used.
