`msgspec` sends python lists over the wire
(https://github.com/jcrist/msgspec/issues/30) which is fine and dandy
but we use them as lookup keys so we need to be sure we tuple-cast
first.
This change some super old (and bad) code from the project's very early
days. For some redic reason i must have thought masking `trio`'s
internal stream / transport errors and a TCP EOF as `StopAsyncIteration`
somehow a good idea. The reality is you probably
want to know the difference between an unexpected transport error
and a simple EOF lol. This begins to resolve that by adding our own
special `TransportClosed` error to signal the "graceful" termination of
a channel's underlying transport. Oh, and this builds on the `msgspec`
integration which helped shed light on the core issues here B)
Add a `tractor._ipc.MsgspecStream` type which can be swapped in for
`msgspec` serialization transparently. A small msg-length-prefix framing
is implemented as part of the type and we use
`tricycle.BufferedReceieveStream` to handle buffering logic for the
underlying transport.
Notes:
- had to force cast a few more list -> tuple spots due to no native
`tuple`decode-by-default in `msgspec`: https://github.com/jcrist/msgspec/issues/30
- the framing can be understood by this protobuf walkthrough:
https://eli.thegreenplace.net/2011/08/02/length-prefix-framing-for-protocol-buffers
- `tricycle` becomes a new dependency
Can only really use an encoder currently since there is no streaming api
in `msgspec` as of currently. See jcrist/msgspec#27.
Not sure if any encoding speedups are currently noticeable especially
without any validation going on yet XD.
First experiments toward #196
The `collections.deque` takes care of array length truncation of values
for us implicitly but in the future we'll likely want this value exposed
to alternate array implementations. This patch is to provide for that as
well as make `mypy` happy since the `dequeu.maxlen` can also be `None`.
Add a couple more tests to check that a parent and sub-task stream can
be lagged and recovered (depending on who's slower). Factor some of the
test machinery into a new ctx mngr to make it all happen.
Get rid of all the (requirements for) clones of the underlying
receivable. We can just use a uuid generated key for each instance
(thinking now this can probably just be `id(self)`). I'm fully convinced
now that channel cloning is only a source of confusion and anti-patterns
when we already have nurseries to define resource lifetimes. There is no
benefit in particular when you allocate subscriptions using a context
manager (not sure why `trio.open_memory_channel()` doesn't enforce
this).
Further refinements:
- add a `._closed` state that will error the receiver on reuse
- drop module script section; it's been moved to a real test
- call the "receiver" duck-type stub a new name
