Getting started
|
|
===============
|
|
Welcome aboard B)
|
|
|
|
Real talk before any code: the first step to grok ``tractor`` is
|
|
to get an intermediate knowledge of ``trio`` and **structured
|
|
concurrency** (SC). ``tractor`` **is just** ``trio`` - but with
|
|
nurseries for process management and cancel-able streaming IPC -
|
|
so every rule you already know about task lifetimes, cancellation
|
|
and error propagation keeps holding, just now across process (and
|
|
host!) boundaries. Some great places to start are,
|
|
|
|
- the seminal `blog post`_,
|
|
- obviously the `trio docs`_,
|
|
- wikipedia's nascent SC_ page,
|
|
- the fancy diagrams @ libdill-docs_.
|
|
|
|
Once you've taken in (some of) the canon, get installed and go
|
|
spawn your first actor tree:
|
|
|
|
.. toctree::
|
|
:maxdepth: 1
|
|
|
|
install
|
|
quickstart
|
|
|
|
.. seealso::
|
|
|
|
Already installed and itching? Jump straight to
|
|
:doc:`/start/quickstart`; once you're through the on-ramp the
|
|
:doc:`guide pages </guide/index>` take each subsystem deeper.
