News
====

- December 2025: pypubsub 4.0.7 released! (update to latest packaging system, testing, docs).
- ... (has it really been this long since I cleaned this up?!)...
- January 2019: pypubsub 4.0.3 released! (for those -- and only those -- who use Python >= 3).
- March 2019: pypubsub 3.4.2 released (for those -- and only those -- who use Python 2.7.x).

Overview
========

Provides a publish-subscribe API to facilitate event-based or message-based
architecture in a single-process application. It is pure Python and works on
Python 3.7+ (tested through 3.14). It is centered on the notion of a topic; senders publish
messages of a given topic, and listeners subscribe to messages of a given
topic, all inside the same process. The package also supports a variety of
advanced features that facilitate debugging and maintaining topics
and messages in larger desktop- or server-based applications.

Install most recent stable with "pip install pypubsub".

Contributing and testing
------------------------

Install `uv <https://github.com/astral-sh/uv>`_, then run the test matrix with ``tox`` (uses ``tox-uv`` under the hood)::

  uv tool install tox --with tox-uv
  tox  # or: tox -e py312

Package build verification is available via ``tox -e pkg`` (runs ``python -m build`` and ``twine check``).

Python 3.7 note: uv does not auto-provide CPython 3.7. ``tox -e py37`` will skip locally if 3.7 isn’t available; it is exercised in GitHub CI.

Local development install
-------------------------

Create a virtual environment and install in editable mode::

  uv venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
  uv pip install -e .

Then you can open a Python shell (``python``) and ``import pubsub``, or run examples such as::

  python examples/advanced/advanced_main.py
  python examples/basic_kwargs/console_main.py

To run a small example suite, use the helper script (assumes your venv is active)::

  bash examples/runall.sh  # uses 'python' from your venv

Versioning and tags
-------------------

Versions come from git tags via ``setuptools_scm``. To see the last tagged release::

  git describe --tags --abbrev=0

To create a new tag, pick your next version (e.g. ``v4.0.7``) and tag the current commit::

  git tag v4.0.7
  git push origin v4.0.7

There is also a helper script with subcommands for tagging/pushing::

  python release.py get-latest            # show latest vX.Y.Z tag (or v0.0.0)
  python release.py init-tag v4.0.7       # create a specific tag
  python release.py bump-local [patch]    # create a local tag (major/minor/patch; default patch)
  python release.py push-tag              # push latest tag (prompts/warns about PyPI release)

Warning: pushing a ``v*`` tag triggers the GitHub Actions release workflow, which builds and uploads to PyPI using the configured token.

CI will build and publish from that tag (using the tag version; no manual bump needed).

wxPython on Ubuntu 22+
----------------------

If you want to run the wx examples, install wxPython and SDL2 runtime in your venv on Ubuntu 22.x+::

  pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
  pip install --only-binary=:all: -f https://extras.wxpython.org/wxPython4/extras/linux/gtk3/ubuntu-22.04 wxPython==4.2.4
  sudo apt-get install libsdl2-2.0-0  # runtime for the wheel

If the wheel is not found for your distro/Python combo, you’ll need GTK3/SDL build deps to compile from source instead.

Docs
----

Install deps into a local venv and build::

  pip install -r docs/requirements.txt
  make docs          # builds docs/_build/html
  make clean-docs    # removes docs/_build

Helpers:

- ``make venv`` sets up a local venv at .venv (uses system python).
- ``make clean-venv`` removes that venv.
- ``make add-wxpy-ubuntu`` installs wxPython 4.2.4 wheel + SDL2 runtime on Ubuntu (requires sudo).
  Useful for running wx examples in that venv.
- Release helpers can be run via Makefile wrappers, e.g. ``make init-tag TAG=v4.0.7`` or ``make bump-local BUMP=patch``.

Release helpers can be run via the Makefile wrappers, e.g. ``make init-tag TAG=v4.0.7`` or ``make bump-local BUMP=patch``.
