ThreadDict

class ThreadDict(other=None, read_method=None, write_method=None, timewait=0.1, threaded=True)

Bases: dict

Thread safe dictionary with redefinable read/write methods and a background thread for hardware update. All methods are thread-safe using @self_lock decorator.

Note

any method decorated in this way CANNOT call other decorated methods! All values of the dictionary will be automatically updated in a separate Thread using read_method provided. Any value overwritten in the dict should launch the write_method.

Briefing:

a[2] equals to a[2]=read_method(2)
a[2]=1 equals to a[2]=write_method(2,1)
