Tyler Goodlet f1b242f913 Block SIGINT handling while in the debugger
This seems to prevent a certain class of bugs to do with the root actor
cancelling local tasks and getting into deadlock while children are
trying to acquire the tty lock. I'm not sure it's the best idea yet
since you're pretty much guaranteed to get "stuck" if a child activates
the debugger after the root has been cancelled (at least "stuck" in
terms of SIGINT being ignored). That kinda race condition seems to still
exist somehow: a child can "beat" the root to activating the tty lock
and the parent is stuck waiting on the child to terminate via its
nursery.

tractor

A structured concurrent, async-native "actor model" built on trio and multiprocessing.

travis Documentation Status

tractor is an attempt to bring trionic structured concurrency to distributed multi-core Python; it aims to be the Python multi-processing framework you always wanted.

tractor lets you spawn trio "actors": processes which each run a trio scheduled task tree (also known as an async sandwich). Actors communicate by exchanging asynchronous messages and avoid sharing any state. This model allows for highly distributed software architecture which works just as well on multiple cores as it does over many hosts.

The first step to grok tractor is to get the basics of trio down. A great place to start is the trio docs and this blog post.

Feel like saying hi?

This project is very much coupled to the ongoing development of trio (i.e. tractor gets all its ideas from that brilliant community). If you want to help, have suggestions or just want to say hi, please feel free to ping me on the trio gitter channel!
