+ # EventFlow
40
+
41
+ [Repository](https://github.com/TahsinCr/python-eventflow) · [Latest release](https://github.com/TahsinCr/python-eventflow/releases/latest) · [MIT License](https://github.com/TahsinCr/python-eventflow/blob/main/LICENSE)
42
+
43
+ EventFlow lets components in one Python process communicate through ordinary
44
+ Python objects. It provides a synchronous event bus, an asyncio-native event
45
+ bus, optional in-memory history, named channels, and explicit subscription
46
+ lifecycle management.
47
+
48
+ Optional pipelines transform values through named stages and around middleware.
49
+ Async streams compose lazy transformations with bounded buffering. Scopes,
50
+ event envelopes and opt-in measurements let these pieces work together without
51
+ requiring a framework or changing ordinary bus publication.
52
+
53
+ The library is for in-process delivery. It does not persist events, serialize
54
+ them, or transport them between processes. Those responsibilities remain with
55
+ the application or its messaging infrastructure.
56
+
57
+ EventFlow was extracted from the event subsystem of
58
+ [Vehicle Autonomy Core](https://github.com/TahsinCr/vehicle-autonomy-core) and
59
+ is maintained here as a standalone library. The source project is not needed
60
+ to install or use this package.

93
+ ## Getting started
94
+
95
+ ### Install
96
+
97
+ Python 3.10 or newer is required. From a checkout, install the source into the
98
+ active environment:
99
+
100
+ ~~~bash
101
+ python -m pip install .
102
+ ~~~
103
+
104
+ After the PyPI release is published, install EventFlow with:
105
+
106
+ ~~~bash
107
+ python -m pip install flowevent
108
+ ~~~
109
+
110
+ `flowevent` is the PyPI distribution name. The library is called EventFlow,
111
+ and Python code continues to import the `eventflow` package:
112
+
113
+ ~~~python
114
+ from eventflow import EventBus
115
+ ~~~
116
+
117
+ Python 3.10 installs `backports.strenum` and `exceptiongroup` to supply features
118
+ that are built into Python 3.11 and newer. Package metadata selects these
119
+ dependencies only on Python 3.10.
120
+
121
+ The distribution includes inline type annotations and a `py.typed` marker, so
122
+ type checkers can discover EventFlow's types when the package is installed.
123
+
124
+ Because the distribution installs files in the shared `eventflow` import
125
+ package, installing another distribution that provides that package in the
126
+ same environment can overwrite or conflict with these files. Use a separate
127
+ virtual environment when both distributions are needed.
128
+
129
+ For editable development, install the optional tools and run the repository
130
+ checks from the project root:
131
+
132
+ ~~~bash
133
+ python -m pip install -e ".[dev]"
134
+ python -m unittest discover -s tests -v
135
+ ruff check .
136
+ pyright
137
+ ~~~
138
+
139
+ The `dev` extra provides Ruff and Pyright. The tests use Python's standard
140
+ `unittest` framework.
141
+
142
+ ### Version
143
+
144
+ The installed package exposes its version through `eventflow.__version__`:
145
+
146
+ ~~~python
147
+ from eventflow import __version__
148
+
149
+ print(__version__) # 1.2
150
+ ~~~
151
+
152
+ <a id="first-event"></a>
153
+ ### Publish your first event
154
+
155
+ An event is a value that describes something that has happened. It can be any
156
+ Python object; a frozen dataclass is a useful choice when the event should be
157
+ explicit and immutable.
158
+
159
+ ~~~python
160
+ from dataclasses import dataclass
161
+
162
+ from eventflow import EventBus
163
+
164
+
165
+ @dataclass(frozen=True)
166
+ class OrderPlaced:
167
+ order_id: str
168
+
169
+
170
+ def send_confirmation(event: OrderPlaced) -> None:
171
+ print(f"Order placed: {event.order_id}")
172
+
173
+
174
+ with EventBus[OrderPlaced]() as bus:
175
+ with bus.subscribe(send_confirmation):
176
+ result = bus.publish(OrderPlaced("order-42"))
177
+ print(f"delivered={result.delivered}, failed={result.failed}")
178
+ ~~~
179
+
180
+ Output:
181
+
182
+ ~~~text
183
+ Order placed: order-42
184
+ delivered=1, failed=0
185
+ ~~~
186
+
187
+ The publisher creates an `OrderPlaced` value and passes it to the bus. The bus
188
+ calls the subscribed handler before `publish()` returns. The inner context
189
+ manager cancels the subscription when it ends; the outer one closes the bus.
190
+ This makes the lifetime of both resources visible at the point of use.
191
+
192
+ The generic annotation in `EventBus[OrderPlaced]` helps type checkers and IDEs.
193
+ It does not validate event types at runtime. Use a filter when a runtime type
194
+ check is needed.
195
+
196
+ ### Choose a bus
197
+
198
+ | | `EventBus` | `AsyncEventBus` |
199
+ | --- | --- | --- |
200
+ | Handler | Synchronous callable | Async callable |
201
+ | Publish | Blocks until selected handlers finish | Await `publish()` |
202
+ | Execution context | Calling thread by default; optional executor | One owning asyncio event loop |
203
+ | Delivery order | Concurrent publisher calls may overlap | Sequential by default; optional concurrent delivery |
204
+
205
+ Choose `EventBus` for synchronous code. By default, each handler runs on the
206
+ thread that called `publish()`. An optional `concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor`
207
+ can run handlers on worker threads, but the publishing call still waits for them.
208
+ When buses share a pool, a callback that publishes through another bus using
209
+ that same pool delivers the nested event inline on the active worker. This
210
+ prevents worker starvation during cross-bus reentrant publication.
211
+
212
+ Publishing from multiple threads is safe. Two simultaneous publish calls may
213
+ run their handlers at the same time, so handlers that update shared state must
214
+ provide their own synchronization.
215
+
216
+ Choose `AsyncEventBus` when the application already uses asyncio and handlers
217
+ are coroutines. Bus operations belong to the first running event loop that
218
+ uses the bus. Do not share an instance across different loops. To publish from
219
+ a worker thread, use `publish_threadsafe()`; see [Async applications](#async-applications).
220
+
221
+ ## Core concepts
222
+
223
+ A bus stores active subscriptions and delivers each published event to the
224
+ subscriptions whose filters match it. Subscriptions are independent: a handler
225
+ can be cancelled without affecting other handlers or the bus.
226
+
227
+ <a id="subscriptions"></a>
228
+ ### Events and subscriptions
229
+
230
+ Events do not inherit from a library base class. Define the values that suit
231
+ the application, then publish them with `publish(event)`. Keep event objects
232
+ small and give their fields names that describe the information a handler
233
+ needs.
234
+
235
+ `subscribe(callback)` returns a `Subscription` for `EventBus` and an
236
+ `AsyncSubscription` for `AsyncEventBus`. Keep the returned handle while the
237
+ handler is needed. Call `cancel()` when it is no longer needed, or manage the
238
+ handle with a context manager as in the first example. Cancellation is safe to
239
+ repeat. The handle exposes `id` and `active`.
240
+
241
+ <a id="filtering"></a>
242
+ ### Filtering and delivery limits
243
+
244
+ A subscription can receive every event, events of one or more classes, or
245
+ events that pass a predicate. A type check and predicate can be combined:
246
+
247
+ ~~~python
248
+ from dataclasses import dataclass
249
+
250
+ from eventflow import EventBus, EventFilter
251
+
252
+
253
+ @dataclass(frozen=True)
254
+ class PaymentReceived:
255
+ account_id: str
256
+ amount_cents: int
257
+
258
+
259
+ large_payment = EventFilter(
260
+ event_type=PaymentReceived,
261
+ predicate=lambda event: event.amount_cents >= 10_000,
262
+ )
263
+
264
+
265
+ def write_audit_record(event: PaymentReceived) -> None:
266
+ print(f"Audit {event.account_id}: {event.amount_cents}")
267
+
268
+
269
+ with EventBus[PaymentReceived]() as bus:
270
+ with bus.subscribe(write_audit_record, event_filter=large_payment):
271
+ bus.publish(PaymentReceived("acct-7", 2_500))
272
+ bus.publish(PaymentReceived("acct-7", 12_500))
273
+ ~~~
274
+
275
+ Only the second payment reaches the handler. A type filter may also be a tuple
276
+ of classes. Predicates are synchronous functions that receive the event and
277
+ return a boolean, including when attached to an async bus. Async predicates
278
+ and predicates that return awaitables are rejected because filtering itself
279
+ is synchronous.
280
+
281
+ Use either an `EventFilter` or the direct `event_type`/`predicate` arguments
282
+ on a bus method; do not combine the two forms. For a handler that should stop
283
+ after its first match, use `once=True` or `once(callback, ...)`. For a fixed
284
+ number of matching deliveries, use `times=N`. These limits count matching
285
+ events, not every event published to the bus.
286
+
287
+ <a id="failures"></a>
288
+ ### Failures and results
289
+
290
+ The default `ErrorPolicy.ISOLATE` records handler failures and continues with
291
+ the other selected handlers. Each call to `publish()` returns a `PublishResult`:
292
+
293
+ | Field | Meaning |
294
+ | --- | --- |
295
+ | `matched` | Subscriptions selected for immediate delivery by this publish call |
296
+ | `delivered` | Handlers that completed successfully |
297
+ | `failed` / `errors` | Collected delivery or action failures |
298
+ | `successful` | `True` when no failures were collected |
299
+
300
+ Events buffered for a subscription while replay is in progress are excluded
301
+ from `matched`, even when its filter accepts them.
302
+
303
+ A synchronous `on_error` hook can report a failure without coupling the handler
304
+ to a particular logging system:
305
+
306
+ ~~~python
307
+ from eventflow import EventBus, EventErrorContext
308
+
309
+
310
+ def report_failure(context: EventErrorContext[str]) -> None:
311
+ print(f"{context.event}: {type(context.error).__name__}")
312
+
313
+
314
+ def persist_order(event: str) -> None:
315
+ raise RuntimeError("storage is unavailable")
316
+
317
+
318
+ with EventBus[str](on_error=report_failure) as bus:
319
+ bus.subscribe(persist_order)
320
+ result = bus.publish("order-42")
321
+ print(result.matched, result.delivered, result.failed)
322
+ ~~~
323
+
324
+ Set `error_policy=ErrorPolicy.RAISE` when the caller should handle failures
325
+ directly. The bus attempts delivery to the selected handlers, then raises an
326
+ `ExceptionGroup` if failures were collected. That publish call does not return
327
+ a `PublishResult`. The `bus.stats` property provides cumulative
328
+ `published`, `delivered`, and `failed` counts.
329
+
330
+ These counters are not a per-publish invariant. `published` is incremented
331
+ before callbacks run; `delivered` and `failed` are finalized afterward. An
332
+ in-flight or cancelled async publish can leave them different. `failed` counts
333
+ collected errors from handlers, filters, and actions, not only failed handlers.
334
+
335
+ To catch grouped failures with the same import on Python 3.10 and newer, import
336
+ `ExceptionGroup` from `eventflow.compatibility`. On Python 3.11 and newer, that
337
+ name refers to the built-in exception group class.
338
+
339
+ ## Working with events
340
+
341
+ <a id="history"></a>
342
+ ### History and replay
343
+
344
+ History is disabled by default. Set `history` to a positive capacity to keep
345
+ recent events in a bounded, thread-safe `MemoryEventHistory`. When the buffer
346
+ is full, each new event replaces the oldest one. History lives in memory; it
347
+ is not a durable event log.
348
+
349
+ ~~~python
350
+ from eventflow import EventBus
351
+
352
+
353
+ with EventBus[str](history=3) as bus:
354
+ for status in ("created", "paid", "packed", "shipped"):
355
+ bus.publish(status)
356
+
357
+ print(bus.query(limit=2))
358
+ print(bus.latest())
359
+ ~~~
360
+
361
+ Output:
362
+
363
+ ~~~text
364
+ ('packed', 'shipped')
365
+ shipped
366
+ ~~~
367
+
368
+ `query()` returns retained events in publication order. It accepts the same
369
+ filter options as a subscription and an optional positive `limit`. With a
370
+ limit, it returns the newest matching events in chronological order.
371
+ `latest()` returns the newest match or `None`. Without history,
372
+ `query()` returns an empty tuple and `latest()` returns `None`.
373
+ History order reflects when events were recorded, not when callbacks start or
374
+ finish. Async publish hooks can yield after recording, and separate publish
375
+ calls may overlap.
376
+
377
+ An unfiltered query with `limit` reads only the requested recent window. A
378
+ filtered query evaluates the predicate outside the history lock on a stable
379
+ snapshot. It searches newest to oldest when limited, but a rare match near the
380
+ oldest entry can still require scanning the full snapshot.
381
+ On `AsyncEventBus`, this filtered lookup runs synchronously on the owning event
382
+ loop. A rare match in a large history can therefore delay unrelated tasks;
383
+ bound the retained history and keep predicates inexpensive when replay latency
384
+ matters.
385
+
386
+ A new subscriber can receive recent events before it starts handling live
387
+ ones. Pass `replay=N` to deliver up to the N newest retained events that match
388
+ the subscription filter:
389
+
390
+ ~~~python
391
+ with EventBus[str](history=10) as bus:
392
+ bus.publish("started")
393
+ bus.publish("ready")
394
+
395
+ with bus.subscribe(print, replay=2):
396
+ pass
397
+ ~~~
398
+
399
+ The handler prints `started` and `ready` as the subscription is created. Live
400
+ events that arrive during replay are buffered per subscriber.
401
+ `replay_buffer_limit` (default 1000) bounds this temporary queue. If the queue
402
+ overflows, that subscription is cancelled and the overflow is reported using
403
+ the bus's error policy.
404
+
405
+ To provide a custom history store, implement `EventHistory`:
406
+ `append()`, `latest()`, `query()`, `clear()`, and `__len__()`. Implementations
407
+ must synchronize all five operations and return `latest()`/`query()` results
408
+ from a consistent snapshot. A history shared by multiple buses must synchronize
409
+ across those buses too. The bus publication lock serializes `append()` only for
410
+ that bus; history queries run outside it. Keep `append()` fast and non-blocking,
411
+ and do not publish recursively through the same bus from it.
412
+
413
+ Bus `clear()` removes active subscriptions and wakes pending waiters; it does
414
+ not erase history or stop periodic schedules. Call the returned schedule's
415
+ `cancel()` to stop it, or close the bus to stop all schedules. To delete retained
416
+ events, call `clear()` on the configured history object.
417
+
418
+ <a id="wait-for-event"></a>
419
+ ### Waiting for an event
420
+
421
+ Use `wait_for()` when the caller needs one matching event as a value instead
422
+ of registering a long-lived handler. It accepts the same filter options as
423
+ `subscribe()` and an optional timeout. It returns the event, or `None` if the
424
+ wait times out or the bus closes before a match. A synchronous wait blocks the
425
+ calling thread. Timeouts must be finite, non-negative numbers; zero requests
426
+ an immediate wait.
427
+
428
+ This async example schedules a publisher and then waits for its event. The
429
+ wait registers its temporary subscription before the publisher task gets to
430
+ run:
431
+
432
+ ~~~python
433
+ import asyncio
434
+
435
+ from eventflow import AsyncEventBus
436
+
437
+
438
+ async def main() -> None:
439
+ async with AsyncEventBus[str]() as bus:
440
+ publish_task = asyncio.create_task(bus.publish("ready"))
441
+ event = await bus.wait_for(event_type=str, timeout=1.0)
442
+ await publish_task
443
+ print(event)
444
+
445
+
446
+ asyncio.run(main())
447
+ ~~~
448
+
449
+ The output is `ready`. In synchronous code, use
450
+ `bus.wait_for(event_type=..., timeout=...)`; omit `timeout` to wait without a
451
+ deadline. A configured `on_timeout` hook receives an `EventTimeoutContext`
452
+ with the filter and timeout that expired.
453
+
454
+ <a id="periodic"></a>
455
+ ### Periodic publishing
456
+
457
+ `publish_every(event, interval, times=None, immediately=True)` publishes the
458
+ same event repeatedly and returns a cancellable subscription. `interval` must
459
+ be positive. The first publication happens immediately unless
460
+ `immediately=False`. Set `times` to a positive integer for a finite schedule,
461
+ or cancel the returned subscription to stop early. A bus allows at most
462
+ `max_schedules` active schedules (default 64).
463
+
464
+ ~~~python
465
+ import time
466
+
467
+ from eventflow import EventBus
468
+
469
+
470
+ with EventBus[str]() as bus:
471
+ bus.subscribe(print)

478
+ The handler receives three heartbeats. `AsyncEventBus` provides the awaited
479
+ version and runs it on the owning loop:

501

502
+ Closing a bus cancels its schedules. With `ErrorPolicy.RAISE`, an error during
503
+ a periodic publish stops that schedule. A schedule does not return each
504
+ `PublishResult`; configure the bus `on_error` hook to observe handler, filter,
505
+ or action failures. With `ErrorPolicy.ISOLATE`, the schedule continues and the
506
+ publish result is otherwise discarded.
507
+
508
+ ## Async applications
509
+
510
+ `AsyncEventBus` accepts async handlers and async bus hooks. Its default
511
+ `DeliveryMode.SEQUENTIAL` awaits matching handlers in subscription order.
512
+ `DeliveryMode.CONCURRENT` awaits them together. Concurrent mode can be useful
513
+ when handlers are independent, but their completion order is not guaranteed.
514
+ Sequential ordering applies within one `publish()` call; separate publish calls
515
+ may overlap. In sequential mode, a handler-raised `asyncio.CancelledError`
516
+ propagates from `publish()` and stops delivery to later handlers. In concurrent
517
+ mode, an independently cancelled handler task is recorded as a failed delivery
518
+ in `PublishResult`. Cancelling the task that called `publish()` propagates in
519
+ either mode and cancels in-flight handler work. Cancellation cannot undo side
520
+ effects a handler produced before it was cancelled.

+ ~~~
548
+
549
+ Bus operations such as `subscribe()`, `publish()`, `wait_for()`,
550
+ `publish_every()`, `clear()`, and `close()` are awaited. The
551
+ `publish_threadsafe(event)` entry point is for a different thread: it returns
552
+ a `concurrent.futures.Future` and schedules delivery on the owning loop.
553
+
554
+ Concurrent delivery is unbounded by default to preserve the existing behavior.
555
+ Set `max_concurrency=N` with `DeliveryMode.CONCURRENT` to cap callback fan-out
556
+ for each publish. When a callback finishes, its slot is reused immediately for
557
+ the next subscriber instead of waiting for the rest of a fixed group. Overlapping
558
+ publish calls each have their own limit; this does not bound how many publish
559
+ calls the application creates. Choose a finite value when one event's fan-out
560
+ could otherwise create too many tasks or use too many external resources.

589
+ <a id="channels"></a>
590
+ ## Organizing channels
591
+
592
+ `EventEngine` creates synchronous buses lazily by channel name. Use it when
593
+ several parts of an application need separate event channels with shared
594
+ defaults:
595
+
596
+ ~~~python
597
+ from eventflow import EventEngine
598
+
599
+
600
+ def update_order_view(event: str) -> None:
601
+ print(f"Order view updated: {event}")
602
+
603
+
604
+ with EventEngine(history=50) as engine:
605
+ engine.subscribe("orders", update_order_view)
606
+ result = engine.publish("orders", "order-42")
607
+ print(result.delivered)
608
+ ~~~
609
+
610
+ Channel names are stripped and lowercased, so `" Orders "` and `"orders"`
611
+ refer to the same channel. `engine.channel(name)` returns a channel, creating
612
+ it when necessary. Use `engine.add(name, bus)` to register a bus with custom
613
+ settings. `remove(name)` closes one channel; `stop()` closes every channel.
614
+ An engine can own a bus instance under only one channel name at a time. A
615
+ successful `add()` claims that bus for the engine; another engine cannot claim
616
+ the same instance and receives `ValueError`. Removing or stopping the owner
617
+ closes the bus.
618
+ The engine exposes `running` and a sorted `channel_names` tuple.
619
+ During `stop()`, both engines attempt every channel. If some closes fail, the
620
+ failures are raised together and the engine retains those channels so a later
621
+ `stop()` can retry cleanup.
622
+
623
+ `AsyncEventEngine` offers the same channel model for async buses. Its
624
+ `channel()` and `add()` methods return directly. Publish, subscribe, once,
625
+ wait, remove, start, and stop operations are awaited:
626
+
627
+ ~~~python
628
+ import asyncio
629
+
630
+ from eventflow import AsyncEventEngine
631
+
632
+
633
+ async def main() -> None:
634
+ async with AsyncEventEngine(history=50) as engine:
635
+
636
+ async def update_order_view(event: str) -> None:
637
+ print(f"Order view updated: {event}")
638
+
639
+ await engine.subscribe("orders", update_order_view)
640
+ result = await engine.publish("orders", "order-42")
641
+ print(result.delivered)
642
+
643
+
644
+ asyncio.run(main())
645
+ ~~~
646
+
647
+ Engine defaults are passed to the buses the engine creates. `EventEngine`
648
+ carries history, error policy, executor, and hooks; its optional executor must
649
+ be a `ThreadPoolExecutor`. `AsyncEventEngine` carries history, error policy,
650
+ delivery mode, `max_concurrency`, and async hooks.
651
+
652
+ ## Callback policies
653
+
654
+ `CallbackSubscription` is a lower-level utility for applying limits and hooks
655
+ to one callback when it is invoked directly. It is independent of a bus and is
656
+ not created by `EventBus.subscribe()`. A caller supplies its identifier, a
657
+ cancellation function, and the callback:
658
+
659
+ ~~~python
660
+ from eventflow import CallbackSubscription
661
+
662
+
663
+ def handle_message(message: str) -> str:
664
+ return message.upper()
665
+
666
+
667
+ policy = CallbackSubscription(
668
+ identifier=1,
669
+ cancel=lambda: None,
670
+ callback=handle_message,
671
+ max_calls=3,
672
+ frequency_hz=2,
673
+ on_success=lambda context: print(context.result),
674
+ )
675
+
676
+ print(policy.invoke("ready"))
677
+ ~~~
678
+
679
+ `invoke()` applies the policy to a synchronous callback. For an asynchronous
680
+ callback, set `asynchronous=True` and await `invoke_async()`:
681
+
682
+ ~~~python
683
+ import asyncio
684
+
685
+ from eventflow import CallbackSubscription
686
+
687
+
688
+ async def handle_message(message: str) -> str:
689
+ return message.upper()
690
+
691
+
692
+ async def main() -> None:
693
+ policy = CallbackSubscription(
694
+ identifier=2,
695
+ cancel=lambda: None,
696
+ callback=handle_message,
697
+ asynchronous=True,
698
+ timeout=1.0,
699
+ )
700
+ print(await policy.invoke_async("ready"))
701
+
702
+
703
+ asyncio.run(main())
704
+ ~~~
705
+
706
+ The policy can limit accepted calls with `once` or `max_calls`, cap the rate
707
+ with `frequency_hz`, apply a timeout, filter with a synchronous predicate,
708
+ and be toggled with `enable()`/`disable()`. It supports before, success,
709
+ error, timeout, and after hooks; each hook receives a `CallbackContext` with
710
+ the event, result, error, and elapsed time. Disabled, filtered, and
711
+ rate-limited events do not consume the call limit. An invocation that passes
712
+ those checks consumes a call even if the callback later raises.
713
+
714
+ Use `on_before()`, `on_success()`, `on_error()`, `on_timeout()`, or
715
+ `on_after()` to register hooks after construction. Calling the wrapper itself
716
+ invokes the underlying callback directly and bypasses its policies; use
717
+ `invoke()` or `invoke_async()` when those policies should apply.
718
+
719
+ A synchronous timeout is observational: Python cannot safely terminate a
720
+ running thread, so the callback completes before an overrun is reported.
721
+ An asynchronous timeout is cooperative: it requests cancellation and waits for
722
+ the callback task to finish before raising `CallbackTimeoutError`. A callback
723
+ that suppresses cancellation, or a hook that does not return, can extend the
724
+ invocation beyond its configured budget. Python cannot force-stop a coroutine.
725
+ A callback's own `TimeoutError` is distinct from `CallbackTimeoutError`.

+ ## Pipelines and middleware
730
+
731
+ Use `Pipeline[T]` for a sequence of transformations from `T` to `T`. Every stage
732
+ receives the previous stage's result. The pipeline returns the final value and
733
+ does not publish it automatically. An empty pipeline returns its input.
734

767
+ return result

+
770
+ print(pipeline.run(Request(4))) # Request(amount=8)
771
+ ~~~
772
+
773
+ `stage()` and `middleware()` register and return the original function. Its
774
+ identity, name and direct call behavior remain intact. Decorator registration
775
+ and `add()` use the same registry; neither wraps the registered function.
776
+
777
+ | Operation | Behavior |
778
+ | --- | --- |
779
+ | `add(name, callback, *, before=None, after=None)` | Add a stage with optional ordering constraints. |
780
+ | `stage(name, *, before=None, after=None)` | Decorator equivalent of `add`. |
781
+ | `remove(name)` | Remove the stage and references to it; return its callback. |
782
+ | `replace(name, callback)` | Keep the name, ordering constraints and enabled state. |
783
+ | `enable(name)` / `disable(name)` | Change inclusion in future runs. |
784
+ | `stage_names` | Ordered names, including disabled stages. |
785
+ | `add_middleware(...)` / `middleware(...)` | Register around middleware in its own namespace. |
786
+ | `remove_middleware`, `replace_middleware`, `enable_middleware`, `disable_middleware` | Apply the corresponding registry operation to middleware. |
787
+ | `middleware_names` | Names from outermost to innermost, including disabled middleware. |
788
+
789
+ Names are stripped, case-sensitive, non-empty and unique within each registry.
790
+ `before` and `after` must reference existing names. Unknown references raise
791
+ `KeyError`; duplicate names, empty names and ordering cycles raise `ValueError`.
792
+ Invalid mutations leave the existing plan intact. Registration order resolves
793
+ ties. Disabled stages retain their ordering constraints. Removing a stage
794
+ removes references to it from the remaining stages.
795
+
796
+ Ordering is prepared when configuration changes. Each run takes one immutable
797
+ execution snapshot; replacement or disabling during a run affects subsequent
798
+ runs. Configuration is thread-safe and callbacks execute outside its lock.
799
+ The snapshot does not copy payloads or make a callback's own mutable state safe
800
+ for concurrent use.
801
+
802
+ Middleware wraps the entire pipeline: the first registered middleware is the
803
+ outermost. It may call `next_(value)` once, transform its return value, catch a
804
+ `PipelineExecutionError` to recover, or return directly to short-circuit. A
805
+ continuation is valid only inside its middleware call and on the same thread
806
+ or async task. A second call, deferred call or detached-task call raises
807
+ `RuntimeError`. Existing bus actions and callback hooks retain their own
808
+ semantics; they are not executed as pipeline middleware.
809
+ Because middleware uses nested continuations, each pipeline accepts at most 64
810
+ registered middleware entries, including disabled entries. The limit is checked
811
+ when adding middleware and avoids reaching Python's recursion limit during a run.
812
+
813
+ Stage failures stop later stages and raise `PipelineExecutionError`. Inspect
814
+ `name`, `phase`, `context` and `__cause__` to locate the original failure.
815
+ The context is the value passed into the failing component. A synchronous
816
+ stage or middleware returning an awaitable is rejected, and returned coroutine
817
+ objects are closed. Python cannot forcibly stop a synchronous callback.
818
+
819
+ <a id="streams"></a>
820
+ ## Async pipelines and streams
821
+
822
+ `AsyncPipeline[T]` has the same registry and decorators. Its callbacks return
823
+ awaitables; `await pipeline.run(value)` executes on the first owning loop.
824
+ Synchronous callbacks are never moved to threads. Concurrent runs use
825
+ independent snapshots and continuations. `CancelledError` propagates into the
826
+ active stage and is not converted into a delivery failure or retried.
827
+ Stage and middleware results must be resolved values: returning another
828
+ awaitable after the outer await (for example, forgetting `await next_`) is
829
+ rejected and any returned coroutine is closed.
830
+
831
+ `AsyncStream[T]` owns an `AsyncIterable[T]`. Its transformations accept ordinary
832
+ or awaitable callbacks, making both pipeline `run` methods directly usable as
833
+ map functions. Mapping, filtering and batching are lazy and start no workers.
834
+
835

864
+ ~~~
865
+
866
+ | Operation | Result and ownership |
867
+ | --- | --- |
868
+ | `AsyncStream(source)` | A single-use stream on one owning loop. |
869
+ | `map(callback)` | Transform values sequentially; await awaitable results. |
870
+ | `filter(predicate)` | Keep accepted values; synchronous or awaitable predicate. |
871
+ | `batch(size, *, partial=True)` | Yield tuples; optionally include the final partial tuple. |
872
+ | `buffer(capacity)` | Add one producer and a bounded queue with backpressure. |
873
+ | `aclose()` / `async with stream` | Close the entire upstream chain and await owned cleanup. |
874
+ | `closed` | Whether new reads have stopped. |
875
+
876
+ Batch sizes and buffer capacities must be positive integers; booleans, zero,
877
+ fractions and infinity are rejected. A full buffer blocks its producer. There
878
+ is room for `capacity` queued values plus one source value currently waiting
879
+ to enter the queue. Values are never dropped. Source failures reach the
880
+ consumer after earlier queued values; normal completion remains distinct from
881
+ failure and cancellation. Capacity counts objects, not bytes; a small number of
882
+ large payloads can still use substantial memory. Apply payload-size limits or
883
+ an application-owned byte budget when events have highly variable sizes.
884
+
885
+ A stream is consumed once. A second iterator acquisition and concurrent reads
886
+ are rejected. Use `async with` on the **terminal stream** when a consumer may
887
+ break early or raise. Python's `async for` protocol does not notify a source
888
+ when arbitrary consumer code uses `break`; `aclose()` supplies that explicit
889
+ ownership boundary. It also closes an unstarted upstream chain. Closing from
890
+ another task cancels an outstanding reader, then waits for source cleanup.
891
+ Cancellation of the caller is propagated after owned cleanup finishes, even
892
+ if cancellation is repeated. Sources and user cleanup still need to cooperate
893
+ with cancellation; a non-returning source can delay closure.
894
+ A callback running in the active read task cannot await that same terminal
895
+ stream's `aclose()`; it raises `RuntimeError` to prevent a cleanup deadlock.
896
+ The read's normal error path then closes the stream and its upstream chain.
897
+
898
+ <a id="scopes"></a>
899
+ ## Subscription scopes
900
+
901
+ Scopes group existing cancellation handles without changing what `subscribe`
902
+ returns. `add(handle)` returns the same handle and ignores repeated registration
903
+ of the same object. Separate scopes may own unrelated buses or callback policies.
904
+
905
+ ~~~python
906
+ from eventflow import EventBus, SubscriptionScope
907
+
908
+ with EventBus[int]() as bus, SubscriptionScope() as scope:
909
+ handle = scope.add(bus.subscribe(print))
910
+ bus.publish(42)
911
+ assert not handle.active
912
+ ~~~
913
+
914
+ `SubscriptionScope.close()` cancels synchronous handles in reverse registration
915
+ order. `AsyncSubscriptionScope.aclose()` awaits async handles in the same order
916
+ and supports `async with`. Both accept duck-typed handles with the corresponding
917
+ `cancel()` method. They attempt every handle, collect failures in the existing
918
+ Python 3.10-compatible `ExceptionGroup`, and retain failed handles for retry.
919
+ An async handle's `cancel()` must return an awaitable. The scope checks this
920
+ when closing because `add()` cannot validate the result without cancelling the
921
+ handle.
922
+ Handle implementations should make repeated cancellation safe. A handle's own
923
+ async cancellation is propagated after the other handles have been attempted.
924
+ Other handle-owned `BaseException` interrupts also retain their type after all
925
+ handles are attempted; additional failures are chained as an exception group.
926
+ Closed scopes reject additions. Async cleanup is shared by concurrent close
927
+ callers and finishes before caller cancellation is re-raised.
928
+
929
+ Scopes cancel registrations; they do not acquire ownership of the underlying
930
+ bus or forcibly stop callbacks already running. Keep bus/engine context managers
931
+ when those resources also need to close. The async scope itself belongs to one
932
+ loop and rejects reentrant cleanup that would await itself.
933
+
934
+ <a id="event-context"></a>
935
+ ## Event context and measurements
936
+
937
+ `publish(event)` continues to accept raw objects. `EventEnvelope[T]` is an
938
+ optional frozen container with `event`, generated `id`, `correlation_id`,
939
+ `source`, UTC `timestamp` and `metadata`. A timezone-aware timestamp supplied
940
+ in another zone is normalized to UTC. Metadata is copied into a read-only
941
+ mapping, including after `copy.deepcopy()`; payloads and nested metadata values
942
+ retain their own mutability. `dataclasses.asdict()` and pickle work when the
943
+ event and metadata values themselves support those operations. Only unpickle
944
+ data from trusted sources: Python pickle can execute code during loading. Use
945
+ `dataclasses.replace` to transform an envelope's payload.
946
+
947
+ ~~~python
948
+ from dataclasses import replace
949
+ from eventflow import EventEnvelope, Pipeline, PipelineStats, correlation_context
950
+
951
+ stats = PipelineStats()
952
+ pipeline = Pipeline[EventEnvelope[int]](observer=stats)
953
+ pipeline.add("increment", lambda envelope: replace(envelope, event=envelope.event + 1))
954
+ with correlation_context("request-42"):
955
+ event = EventEnvelope(1, source="example", metadata={"attempt": 1})
956
+ result = pipeline.run(event)
957
+ print(result.event, result.correlation_id) # 2 request-42
958
+ print(stats.snapshot.runs.successful) # 1
959
+ ~~~
960
+
961
+ `correlation_context(id)` is a normal context manager, usable in async functions
962
+ too. `current_correlation_id()` reads the current identifier. An envelope uses
963
+ an explicit correlation ID, then the bound context, then its own ID. Context
964
+ is isolated across asyncio tasks and reset on exit. New threads and the bus
965
+ executor do not automatically inherit it; use `contextvars.copy_context` in
966
+ application code when propagation is required.
967
+
968
+ Pass `observer=PipelineStats()` or a synchronous `PipelineObserver` callable to
969
+ either pipeline. Each completed run, stage and middleware produces a
970
+ `PipelineObservation(kind, name, elapsed, status, correlation_id, error)`.
971
+ Statuses are `success`, `error` and `cancelled`; elapsed times are seconds.
972
+ Bind correlation around the caller's entire run for consistent run and stage
973
+ notifications. Middleware-local context applies only while that middleware is
974
+ active. With no observer, clocks and observation objects are omitted.
975
+
976
+ `stats.snapshot` returns immutable `runs`, `stages` and `middleware` aggregates.
977
+ Each `ExecutionMetrics` includes `calls`, `successful`, `failed`, `cancelled`,
978
+ `total_seconds` and `max_seconds`. Counts describe actual execution, so a
979
+ short-circuit does not count skipped stages. Run and middleware durations
980
+ include nested stages; do not add them together. `reset()` clears aggregates.
981
+ No payloads or traceback objects are retained by the collector. Metric keys are
982
+ stage and middleware names; stable names keep the collector small. Dynamically
983
+ generated names remain in the snapshot until `reset()` is called, so avoid
984
+ unbounded user or request values as component names.
985
+
986
+ Observers are synchronous and execute inline, including in `AsyncPipeline`;
987
+ they must be fast and non-blocking to avoid delaying the event loop. For logging
988
+ or telemetry I/O, enqueue a compact observation into an application-owned
989
+ bounded queue. An observer failure aborts an otherwise successful run with
990
+ `phase="observer"`. During an existing pipeline failure, observer errors are
991
+ available as `observer_errors` on the original `PipelineExecutionError`,
992
+ preserving its cause. Existing `EventBusStats` is unchanged.
993
+
994
+ ### Security and operational boundaries
995
+
996
+ EventFlow invokes callbacks, predicates, middleware and stream sources in the
997
+ application process with that process's permissions. It does not sandbox
998
+ untrusted plugins; isolate such code with an operating-system process or
999
+ container boundary and explicit permissions and resource limits. Async
1000
+ cancellation and callback timeouts are cooperative and do not provide a hard
1001
+ deadline for code that suppresses cancellation or blocks the event loop.
1002
+
1003
+ `PipelineExecutionError.context` and observer errors may reference application
1004
+ objects, including sensitive data. Avoid logging these objects wholesale;
1005
+ redact fields in the application's structured logging layer.
1006
+
1007
+ <a id="composition"></a>
1008
+ ## Composing the components
1009
+
1010
+ Use the components independently or connect their normal callable/iterator
1011
+ interfaces. A stage can be `CallbackSubscription.invoke`, a stream map can be
1012
+ `Pipeline.run` or `AsyncPipeline.run`, and a scope can own the handle returned
1013
+ by either bus. Bus publication does not implicitly invoke a pipeline or add
1014
+ an envelope.
1015
+
1016
+ Two complete, network-free examples are executable from the repository root:
1017
+
1018
+ ~~~bash
1019
+ python -m examples.integrated
1020
+ python -m examples.bus_stream
1021
+ ~~~
1022
+
1023
+ [integrated.py](https://github.com/TahsinCr/python-eventflow/blob/main/examples/integrated.py)
1024
+ combines sync and async pipeline stages, decorators, callback policies,
1025
+ correlation, metrics, a buffered stream and an async bus.
1026
+ [bus_stream.py](https://github.com/TahsinCr/python-eventflow/blob/main/examples/bus_stream.py)
1027
+ uses a bounded application queue as a bus subscription and stream source.
1028
+ It owns one publisher task and joins it on exit; no task is created per event.

1031
+ ## Lifecycle and reference
1032
+
1033
+ ### Defaults
1034
+
1035
+ | Option | `EventBus` | `AsyncEventBus` |
1036
+ | --- | --- | --- |
1037
+ | `history` | `None` | `None` |
1038
+ | `error_policy` | `ErrorPolicy.ISOLATE` | `ErrorPolicy.ISOLATE` |
1039
+ | `executor` | `None` | Not used |
1040
+ | `delivery_mode` | Not used | `DeliveryMode.SEQUENTIAL` |
1041
+ | `max_concurrency` | Not used | `None` (unbounded) |
1042
+ | `replay_buffer_limit` | 1000 | 1000 |
1043
+ | `max_schedules` | 64 | 64 |
1044
+ | `shutdown_timeout` | 5 seconds | Not used |
1045
+ | `actions` or direct `on_*` hooks | None | None |
1046
+
1047
+ `history` accepts a positive capacity or an `EventHistory` implementation.
1048
+ Pass either an `EventBusActions`/`AsyncEventBusActions` object or individual
1049
+ `on_before`, `on_after`, `on_error`, and `on_timeout` callbacks, not both.
1050
+ Hooks on `EventBus` are synchronous; hooks on `AsyncEventBus` are async.
1051
+
1052
+ Use `close()` when a bus is no longer needed; context managers do this
1053
+ automatically. A closed bus rejects new subscriptions and publications with
1054
+ `EventBusClosedError`. `clear()` removes subscriptions, leaves history intact,
1055
+ does not stop periodic schedules, and completes pending `wait_for()` calls with
1056
+ `None` on both bus types. A synchronous wait also returns `None` when the bus
1057
+ closes.
1058
+
1059
+ The synchronous bus waits up to `shutdown_timeout` for periodic workers to
1060
+ stop. If a worker does not stop in time, `EventShutdownTimeoutError` is
1061
+ raised. The worker is not forcibly terminated, so `close()` can be retried
1062
+ after the blocking handler finishes. Async close cancels and awaits periodic
1063
+ tasks. Closing a bus does not wait for active `publish()` calls: a callback
1064
+ that has already started may finish after `close()` returns.
1065
+
1066
+ <a id="bus-api"></a>
1067
+ ### Bus methods
1068
+
1069
+ | Method | Behavior |
1070
+ | --- | --- |
1071
+ | `subscribe(callback, *, event_filter=None, event_type=None, predicate=None, once=False, times=None, replay=0)` | Register a handler. Supply either `event_filter` or direct filter arguments. |
1072
+ | `once(callback, *, event_filter=None, event_type=None, predicate=None, replay=0)` | Register for the first matching event. |
1073
+ | `publish(event)` | Deliver an event and return a `PublishResult`, unless the error policy raises. |
1074
+ | `wait_for(*, event_filter=None, event_type=None, predicate=None, timeout=None)` | Return one matching event or `None`. |
1075
+ | `publish_every(event, interval, *, times=None, immediately=True)` | Start a cancellable periodic schedule. |
1076
+ | `latest(...)` / `query(..., limit=None)` | Read retained history. These queries are synchronous on both bus types. |
1077
+ | `clear()` / `close()` | Clear subscriptions (schedules continue) or close the bus (schedules stop). Both are awaited on `AsyncEventBus`. |
1078
+
1079
+ On `AsyncEventBus`, await `subscribe()`, `once()`, `publish()`,
1080
+ `wait_for()`, `publish_every()`, `clear()`, `close()`, and subscription
1081
+ cancellation. `publish_threadsafe(event)` is called from another thread
1082
+ without `await` and returns a `concurrent.futures.Future`.
1083
+
1084
+ <a id="engine-api"></a>
1085
+ ### Engine methods
1086
+
1087
+ `EventEngine` provides `channel()`, `add()`, `remove()`, `publish()`,
1088
+ `subscribe()`, `once()`, `wait_for()`, `publish_every()`, `start()`, and
1089
+ `stop()`. `channel()` and `add()` return directly.
1090
+
1091
+ Engine `subscribe()` accepts `event_filter`, `event_type`, `predicate`, `once`,
1092
+ `times`, and `replay`. Engine `once()` accepts the filter options and `replay`.
1093
+ The async engine exposes the same typed options for async handlers.
1094
+
1095
+ `AsyncEventEngine` provides the same operations for async buses. `channel()`
1096
+ and `add()` return directly; publishing, subscription, waiting, removal, start,
1097
+ and stop are awaited. Both engines support context managers; the async engine
1098
+ uses `async with`.
1099
+
1100
+ After a successful `stop()`, an engine can be reused: a later `channel()` or
1101
+ `add()` call creates or registers new open channels and marks it running again.
1102
+
1103
+ <a id="public-types"></a>
1104
+ ### Public types and errors
1105
+
1106
+ The package exports the following public names:
1107
+
1108
+ | Area | Public names |
1109
+ | --- | --- |
1110
+ | Buses | `EventBus`, `AsyncEventBus`, `BaseEventBus` |
1111
+ | Engines | `EventEngine`, `AsyncEventEngine` |
1112
+ | Subscriptions | `Subscription`, `AsyncSubscription`, `CallbackSubscription` |
1113
+ | Filters and history | `EventFilter`, `EventHistory`, `MemoryEventHistory` |
1114
+ | Results and modes | `PublishResult`, `EventBusStats`, `ErrorPolicy`, `DeliveryMode` |
1115
+ | Actions and contexts | `EventBusActions`, `AsyncEventBusActions`, `EventErrorContext`, `EventTimeoutContext`, `CallbackContext` |
1116
+ | Errors | `EventBusError`, `EventBusClosedError`, `InvalidEventHandlerError`, `CallbackTimeoutError`, `EventShutdownTimeoutError` |
1117
+
1118
+ `EventFilter` accepts an event class or tuple of classes and an optional
1119
+ predicate. `MemoryEventHistory(capacity=1000)` is the built-in bounded,
1120
+ thread-safe history; `capacity` reports its configured size. Buses expose
1121
+ `closed`, `subscriber_count`, `stats`, `history`, and `error_policy`.
1122
+ Engines expose `running` and `channel_names`. Subscription handles expose
1123
+ `id` and `active`; `CallbackSubscription` also exposes `enabled`.
1124
+
1125
+ | Error | Raised when |
1126
+ | --- | --- |
1127
+ | `EventBusError` | A bus operation or schedule capacity cannot be completed. |
1128
+ | `EventBusClosedError` | A publish or registration is attempted after close. |
1129
+ | `InvalidEventHandlerError` | A handler or hook does not match the bus's sync/async mode. |
1130
+ | `CallbackTimeoutError` | A callback exceeds its configured time budget. |
1131
+ | `EventShutdownTimeoutError` | A synchronous periodic worker outlives `shutdown_timeout`. |
1132
+
1133
+ `BaseEventBus` is the abstract base for custom bus implementations.
1134
+ `EventHistory` is the interface for custom history stores. Most applications
1135
+ can work entirely with `EventBus` or `AsyncEventBus`.

1138
+ ## Development and license
1139
+
1140
+ The project supports Python 3.10 and newer and uses setuptools as its build
1141
+ backend. The compatibility dependencies are installed only on Python 3.10.
1142
+ Development setup and checks are described under
1143
+ [Install](https://github.com/TahsinCr/python-eventflow/blob/main/README.md#install).
1144
+ Run `python -m benchmarks.benchmark_replay` from the repository root to compare
1145
+ history `latest()`/`query()` calls through the history and bus APIs, along with
1146
+ bounded sync and async replay setup. The standard-library benchmark defaults
1147
+ to 100,000 retained events and can be adjusted with `--events`, `--replay`,
1148
+ `--iterations`, and `--samples`.
1149
+
1150
+ Additional repeatable measurements use `python -m benchmarks.benchmark_publish`,
1151
+ `python -m benchmarks.benchmark_pipeline`, `python -m benchmarks.benchmark_stream`
1152
+ and `python -m benchmarks.benchmark_runtime`. The runtime-load benchmark compares
1153
+ sync and async publisher contention, async `max_concurrency` values, callback
1154
+ error rates, periodic schedule resources, and traced memory over a configurable
1155
+ event soak. It defaults to five samples, 500 publishes per publisher in each
1156
+ sample, and 100,000 soak events; use `--iterations`, `--publisher-counts`,
1157
+ `--schedule-counts`, `--samples` or `--soak-operations` to adjust the workload.
1158
+ Use `--output results.json` to retain the environment, throughput, p50/p95/p99
1159
+ latency and separately traced peak allocations. Stream rates count items per
1160
+ whole-stream operation. Runtime memory samples use `tracemalloc`, not process
1161
+ RSS, and include event history when configured. Local microbenchmarks are not
1162
+ deployment guarantees. Recorded results and methodology live under
1163
+ `benchmarks/results`.
