Every subactor in the tree now receives the socket (or whatever the mailbox type ends up being) during startup and can call the new `tractor._discovery.get_root()` function to get a portal to the current root actor in their tree. The main reason for adding this atm is to support nested child actors gaining access to the root's tty lock for debugging. Also, when a channel disconnects from a message loop, might as well kill all its rpc tasks. |

tractor
A structured concurrent, async-native "actor model" built on trio and multiprocessing.
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.
Install
No PyPi release yet!
pip install git+git://github.com/goodboy/tractor.gitFeel 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!
